Left or centred?

Left or centred?

Postby CDP » Tue Apr 05, 2011 2:51 pm

Hi

Great app - use this loads.

Quick questions...

- How do I select whether the text displays to the left or centred? It seems a little random. Can I not control this?
- Any chance of an easy-to-use bold/underline/italics and bulleting/numbering?
- I'm still getting the copy and paste bug, described elsewhere. Any chance that will be fixed soon as I use it a lot?

Erm, I think that's it but I'm sure I was going to ask something else.

Many thanks, in advance.

The app will center text when about 6 lines or less, and left-justify with more lines. To force one or the other, from the study screen, tap the gear in top-right to view Deck Options, then Font Alignment, Text Align.

Formatting requires html tags as of now. For example: <b>This is bold</b>. I don't see any change in this in the near future. Same with bulleting/numbering, but I don't recommend this as it's a bit tedious to code up and the font may be too small when done.

As for copy-paste bug... if you are exiting the app in landscape from the study screen, try to avoid that. This may avoid the problem. As for a fix, I don't know when this will happen as it's a very odd problem... maybe an iOS bug.

Thanks for the answers - I'll give that a try!
I still think a way of making the formatting of text easier for users would be widely appreciated (eg select a word and press a 'bold' icon), but I'm happy to make do with this for now :)

Keep up the good work!

I can't seem to find the Font Alignment option. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S21. The gear is in the top left-hand corner, and there is no Deck Options option. Could you please advise how to proceed? Apologies if I've missed how to do it!

Thanks,

Bryony

Hi Bryony,

I'm really sorry for the slow response. There are two gear icons
1) at top-LEFT of Deck Listing screen. This will bring you to Global Options
2) at top-RIGHT of study screen. This will bring you to Deck Options. This is what you want. In the study screen (where you flip the cards), do you see a gear icon at top-right? If not, tap at top-center of screen to toggle visibility of top icons. In Deck Options you should find "Font / Alignment"
