Text Input¶
Text Input is a single-lined free-form writing space where you can enter text or HTML.
Field Options¶
Maximum Characters¶
The maximum number of characters this field should allow.
Text Formatting¶
Specifies how the entered-text will be formatted when rendered on the front-end. Choices include replacing each linebreak with a BR tag, automatically surrounding paragraphs with P tags, or Markdown processing. Additional plugins may be installed to provide more text formatting options.
Allow Override?¶
When set to yes, authors can override the default text formatting for this field from the publish form to set it to a format other than what was selected as the default above.
Text Direction¶
Either left-to-right, or right-to-left.
Allowed Content¶
Restricts the text field to certain data types, while also informing how the data should be sorted on the front-end (numbers represented as text will sort differently than regular numbers).
Field Tools¶
Show a smiley chooser, or show a file chooser button to easily insert images or links to files.
