Increase/Change Size of Caption in Survey

Tahwan — Thu, 19 Oct 2023 06:14:24 GMT

Hello,
I am programming an experiments, in which I am using the element surveypage. For one questionaire, I have rather long instructions, for which I am using the attribute /caption. However, the text of caption is cut off. It seems, as if the size of the caption field is limited. Is there a way to increase the size of caption in a surveypage? Are there any workarounds (I tried to use subcaption, however it is still not enough; is there a way to use a question as an instruction?). If not, the only other option I see is to decrease the font size, which I would like to avoid. Thank you!

Thank you. That makes sense and it works out (thus, problem solved). I was trying things like.

<surveypage examplepage>
/ caption = (examplescaption)
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ showquestionnumbers = false
</surveypage>

<caption examplecaption>
/ caption = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Scelerisque fermentum dui faucibus in. Quis risus sed vulputate odio. Feugiat sed lectus vestibulum mattis ullamcorper velit sed. Sit amet nulla facilisi morbi. Molestie a iaculis at erat pellentesque. Orci ac auctor augue mauris augue neque gravida. Nunc id cursus metus aliquam eleifend. Diam quam nulla porttitor massa. Egestas fringilla phasellus faucibus scelerisque eleifend. Leo vel fringilla est ullamcorper eget nulla facilisi etiam dignissim. Leo urna molestie at elementum eu facilisis sed. Ac auctor augue mauris augue neque gravida. Etiam erat velit scelerisque in dictum. Mattis enim ut tellus elementum. Ut tellus elementum sagittis vitae et. Pharetra massa massa ultricies mi quis hendrerit.

You can use a separate <caption> element with a specified size. Like any other survey-type question element (radiobuttons, textbox, etc.), the caption element is displayed via the page's /questions attribute.

[code]<surveypage examplepage>
/ questions = [1=examplecaption]
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ showquestionnumbers = false
</surveypage>

<caption examplecaption>
/ caption = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Scelerisque fermentum dui faucibus in. Quis risus sed vulputate odio. Feugiat sed lectus vestibulum mattis ullamcorper velit sed. Sit amet nulla facilisi morbi. Molestie a iaculis at erat pellentesque.
