Attributes

Attribute Description
AutoHyperLink Optional Boolean. TRUE to surround text with <A> tags if the text appears like a hyperlink (for example, www.microsoft.com).

AutoNewLine Optional Boolean. TRUE to insert <BR> tags into the text stream and to replace multiple spaces with a nonbreaking space (&nbsp;).
Default Optional Text. Renders the text assigned to this attribute if the value returned by a selection is an empty string ("").
