Line Breaks in Multi-Line Variables

Each line space is determined by the starting variable. Text can be wrapped at line break characters.

Use the following characters:
  • Hyphen
  • Space
  • Tab
  • Carriage return (either a new line, or "/n")

If there are no line break characters in the variable, the text is truncated to fit each line - wrapped to fit the space outlined by the starting and ending variable codes. Hyphens are added at the end of each wrapped line.

Conditions When Words Are Split for a Line Break

The word (or portion of a hyphenated or split word) is longer than the width of the text box. A word is defined as a string of non-space characters between a Space U+0020, a Tab 0x0009, a Line Feed 0x000A, or an Ideographic Space U+3000. The word will be split so the maximum amount with a trailing hyphen fits within the width of the box.

The word contains a non-leading or non-trailing hyphen U+002D. The word will be split at the hyphen. The following are also recognized as hyphens for text boxes:  
  • U+2010 - hyphen
  • U+2012 - figure dash
  • U+2013 - en dash
  • U+2014 - em dash
  • U+2212 - minus
