|
||||||||
HTML encode value |
Specifies whether to render HTML tags when displaying text. If a field contains HTML code, you can configure the field to render (display) the HTML rather than display ‘raw’ unrendered text.
|
||||||||
HTML encode white space |
Specifies whether to HTML encode white space, limiting word-wrapping.
“HTML encode white space” can be combined with the “Allow wrapping” property to achieve various effects. For example, “HTML encode white space = True” and “Allow wrapping = False” respects the white space, carriage return and line feed characters in the HTML, preserving white space; e.g., if you have 10 contiguous spaces, 10 spaces will be output in the field.

||||||||
Maximum display length |
The maximum number of characters displayed on for a text field, limiting the display of long ‘note’ fields in order to conserve screen real estate. Text display limited for mobile pages To reduce the bandwidth required for mobile Show Record pages, text strings longer than 32K are automatically truncated and appended with an ellipses ( “…”). here is no truncation on mobile Edit Record and Add Record pages. Use with “Pop ups” property “Maximum display length” may be used in conjunction with the “Pop ups” property to display a limited amount of text on the web page and complete text in the pop-up. “Maximum display length” also governs the number of characters displayed in PDF Reports created by Iron Speed Designer (PDF Report). Any positive integer may be specified; the lowest permitted value is 1. Several special values are permitted:
The default value is the “Default”. If any invalid value is specified (e.g., 0 or negative number), then all characters in the field are displayed on the web page. Field contents are truncated and HTML tags do not render properly The contents of a rich text field will be truncated if “Maximum display length” is less than the length of the contents in the field. If the contents of a rich text field are truncated, various HTML tags may be displayed rather than rendered as HTML. To “remove” the HTML tags from displaying, increase “Maximum display length” to exceed the length of the contents stored in the field or the length of the database field itself.
