=== Text Inputinput ===

Text input is subject to a few rules:

:1). Only a subset of unicode[[Unicode]] is allowed for font rendering, but unicodeUnicode in links should work for all characters. See also [[#Font Supportsupport|fontFont support]].

:2). When text should contain spaces, either specify these by using underscores or place the text between double quotes.

:Exception: when the text attribute is the last attribute on a line, spaces are allowed (no confusion will arise where the text stops and the next attribute starts, that is—to be precise—when no colons occur in the text).

Line 849:

</pre>

:3). In data lines following command [[#TextData|TextData]] one character has special meaning:

:'''^''' (caret) means ''tab''

== Font Support ==

Timeline has somewhat limited unicodeUnicode support. It uses FreeSans.ttf font, which supports a subset of all the possible glyphs (it supports Cyrillic alphabet, east-Europe diactrics and kana for instance, but lacks kanji). No other fonts are available at this time.
