| To enter texts independently from a certain question, the most convenient way is this: | Texts are -- besides questions -- the most important component of questionnaires. You need them for greetings, longer explanations and often as stimuli (e.g. articles). Texts are created likely questions in a section. Select the desired section and click //Add text// in the **Questionnaire** on the left. |
| | |
| | Enter a //description// for the text that only you as the project manager will see. Then you can select different display variants for the text. |
| | |
| | * Standard is a "simple text". This fits seamlessly into the questionnaire from the formatting and allows simple formatting via [[#wiki-notation|wiki notation]]. |
| | * The "Formatted Text" display allows formatting with an editor. **Important:** Please do __not__ copy text directly from Microsoft Word into a formatted text. This will copy a lot of unnecessary formatting, which can lead to display errors later. |
| | * For more sophisticated design, you can directly enter HTML or JavaScript using the "HTML Code" display. For example, you can also include videos ([[:en:create:media]]). |
| | |
| | If desired, you can also enter text content in the //Title// tab that will be formatted like a question. As soon as you save the text ({{:button.save.png?nolink|Save button}}), it will appear in the question catalog. |
| |
| - Go to **Text elements and labels** at the sidebar under **Questionnaire** | |
| - Click on //New text element// | |
| - Enter a short //ID// for internal use (e.g. "welcome") | |
| - Enter the //text//. You can format it using HTML (see below) | |
| - Save the text block by clicking on //OK// | |
| - To insert it into the questionnaire, go to **Compose questionnaire**. The newly created text element is now visible on the right under //Texts, images, audio//. You can drag-and-drop the text element into the questionnaire page. You can position it above, between or beneath questions or alone on an own page. | |

The questionnaire will stay clean and slim, and you are able to use functions like multilingual surveys. | * //Text elements//\\ Try to always use text elements for texts.

| If you want text parts to show in the questionnaire, but not as variable labels in your dataset, use double curly brackets (''{'' and ''}''). Texts marked like this also won't show up using the query [[::de:create:functions-base#value|value()]] in correspondence with the format code ''label''. | If you want text parts to show in the questionnaire, but not as variable labels in your dataset, use double curly brackets (''{'' and ''}'').
