Displaying text on the Overview tab
Users can control the appearance of question and response text on the screen by including HTML tags in the text. The value of the OverviewTextMode key determines how the text will be displayed on the Build activity’s Overview tab.
Values for this key
html
The question text is inserted directly into the Overview as if it is part of the overview HTML source. New-line characters are replaced with <br> tags. This allows users to preview the effects of any tags they have inserted in the question text. However, inserting text in this way might break the overview HTML structure if, for example, the question text inserted contains an end-table (</table>) tag.
safe-html
This is the default. The question text is displayed as HTML, but most tags are replaced with <Tag> so that they display exactly as they were typed. Exceptions are: <b>, </b>, <i>, </i>, <u>, and </u>; which are applied to the text so that the text is displayed in the appropriate font, and new line characters, which are replaced with <br> tags as happens in UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer.
Long texts wrap to fit into the width of the question box and strings of white space characters are reduced to a single space, as is standard with HTML.
text
The question text is shown exactly as it is saved in the .mdd file. Tabs, new lines, spaces and characters such as < and >, and so on, are displayed as they are written. There is no text wrapping, so long texts are truncated if they do not fit into the width of the question box.
Default value
When Build is installed, the Web.config file contains the following setting:
<appSettings>
<add key="OverviewTextMode" value="safe-html" />
</appSettings>
