Combining font settings in the metadata section

Professional > Interview scripting > Writing interview scripts > Page layout facilities > Styles > Question, response, and information text > Combining font settings in the metadata section

If you are specifying styles in the metadata section, you can save yourself typing by combining font family, size, and effect parameters in a single font instruction. For example:

Sports8 "Which of the following sports do you play?"
    labelstyle (font (Family = "'Palatino Linotype',
    'Times New Roman'",
    Size = 16, IsBold = True, IsItalic = True)) categorical [1..]
    {Tennis, Football, Cricket, Basketball, Hockey};

produces:

The equivalent routing statements are:

Sports.Label.Style.Font.Family = "'Palatino Linotype',
'Times New Roman'"
Sports.Label.Style.Font.Size = 16
Sports.Label.Style.Font.Effects =
FontEffects.feBold + FontEffects.feItalic

which can also be written as:

With Sports.Label.Style.Font
  .Family = "'Palatino Linotype', 'Times New Roman'"
  .Size = 16
  .Effects = FontEffects.feBold + FontEffects.feItalic
End With
