Entering Comments

Introduction

Comments can be placed in LL984 sections in the form of text objects.

Text objects can overlap other objects.

The size of the object, depending on the size of the text, can be extended vertically and horizontally to fill further grid units.

The same rules apply for entering text and navigating within text objects as for editing ASCII text in standard text editors. (To create a line break in text objects you must press the Ctrl+Enter key combination).

NOTE: Keep in mind that each change to a comment (e.g. change to a comment text, change to the size of the text object) makes it necessary to recreate the section involved (Build → Build Changes).
