|
15 default text alignment in left-to-right languages is on the left. There are |
|
16 only a few exceptions to this in specific cases, for example, soft indicators |
|
17 in the Idle state, which are right-aligned.</p><p>In right-to-left UI languages, |
|
18 the default text alignment is on the right.</p></section> |

19 <section id="GUID-A95C4D65-947E-4F69-B165-7CE080CF53CD"><title>Truncation</title><p>When |
|
20 a text does not fit into the view where it is displayed, it should be truncated. |
|
21 By default, texts are truncated from the end, and ellipsis (...) is displayed |
|
22 at the end of the truncated text as an indication. There are two exceptions |
|
23 to this main rule:</p><ul> |
|
24 <li><p>Phone numbers are truncated from the beginning, because the first digits |
|
25 of a phone number are usually considered less important than the numbers at |
|
26 the end.</p></li> |
|
27 <li><p>This general rule may be overridden in certain detailed components, |
|
28 where the latter part of the text is more differentiating than the beginning. |
|
29 Such might be, for example, queries to select an email address.</p></li> |
|
30 </ul></section> |

31 <section id="GUID-B2BC7CED-1704-4D90-A5A5-7FB434BE3704"><title>Marquee scrolling</title><p>When |
|
32 a text does not fit to a list view, the list text can be horizontally scrolling. |
|
33 Marquee scrolling should be used for texts that are not generated by the phone |
|
34 and for which truncation is not desired for some reason. For example, a Web |
|
35 address may not fit to one row of text in a list and it may be important to |
|
36 see the whole address.</p><p>Scrolling is done only when the item is highlighted. |
|
37 The text is scrolled in only one direction, and it does not loop.</p></section> |
|
38 <section id="GUID-6541BB9F-7232-47F3-ACFA-AEC260CA3EA3"><title>Content zooming</title><p>Content |
|
39 zooming is supported in the various lists, forms and settings in the Symbian |
|
40 UI. In this way, users can either use smaller font sizes to fit more information |
|
41 on the screen, or they can increase the text size if necessary. The user can |
|
42 choose between three different zoom levels using General Settings.</p></section> |
