ReferencetextList

<textList>

A list of texts

The <textList> is a Text component that stores multiple <text> components within a list.

When creating a <textList>, separate items by spaces, not commas. The component will default to displaying the list with commas. (A comma inside a <textList> is treated as part of the text itself, just as it would be inside a <text>.)

Examples

Example: <textList> with direct input

In the sample code above, the individual <text> components are listed directly between the opening and closing <textList> tags, with spaces (not commas) to separate list items.

Example: <textList> from user-input

The user is prompted to provide three text responses with the <textInput/> component, which are then referenced within the definition of a <textList>. Individual entries in the list can be referenced by index.

Attribute Examples

Attribute Example: unordered

The unordered attribute allows for boolean comparisons between lists, such as in the <award> component or the <boolean> component, without regard to the order in which the names of the fruits have been entered.

Attribute Example: maxNumber

In the sample code above, the maximum number of <text> components displayed is 3, even though there are 5 <text> components listed directly between the opening and closing <textList> tags.
