    14 <section id="GUID-D15030E7-08E0-4FBD-AA00-90C63DE0A09B"><title>Alignment</title><p>The

    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>
