\keyword Use Case - Displaying Text In QML
\brief Example of how to display text in QML

To display text the Text type is provided by the \l {Qt Quick} module. For
related uses, the \l{TextInput} and \l{TextEdit} types provide editable text
controls. For full HTML markup, see the
\l {Qt WebEngine} module.

\section1 Displaying and formatting text

To display text in QML, create a Text item and set the text property to the
text you wish to display. The Text item will now display that text.

Several properties can be set on the Text item to style the entire block of
text. These include color, font family, font size, bold and italic. For a full
list of properties, consult the \l{Text} type documentation.

Rich text like markup can be used to selectively style specific sections of
text with a Text item. Set \l Text::textFormat to Text.StyledText to use this
functionality. More details are available in the documentation of the \l{Text}
type.

\section1 Laying out text

By default, Text will display the text as a single line unless it contains
embedded newlines. To wrap the line, set the wrapMode property and give the
text an explicit width for it to wrap to. If the width or height is not
explicitly set, reading these properties will return the parameters of the
bounding rect of the text (if you have explicitly set width or height, you can
still use paintedWidth and paintedHeight). With these parameters in mind, the
Text can be positioned like any other Item.

\section1 Internationalization and scalability

When dealing with texts, applications must take into account various topics
such as the device's orientation and the language settings.

The following pages go into detail about these various topics.
