Improved Text placeholder Management


The text placeholder management is used to replace the texts which LXT can give out in response to different actions of the user, like logging in or forgetting your password. Using this menu, custom messages can be displayed instead of the default ones.

The menu for creating a translation in the text placeholder management has been changed to be more intuitive. Tooltips will now guide you through the process of creating a translation as well as be a reference point for users when writing their own translations. Once you have chosen a language, a tooltip will show the default text which you can immediately copy into your text field by clicking the “paste” button.

In the default text you will see examples of the appropriate placeholders which you can now easily copy and use. Also, a dropdown menu for placeholders has been added to the text editor similar to the one in a usual text element.

Those tools in combination with the tooltips are there to help the user navigate the text placeholder management in a more seamless way.

AI text assistance: Creation of texts with didactic intent


If you have activated AI functions in your LXT, you can use the AI assistant to generate text for the text element. Here, you can now include the didactic intent based on our successful guide “The Didactic Architect.” Simply click on the appropriate didactic intent and generate a text.

We have also made a cosmetic improvement to this menu: the individual options (context, didactics info, scope) can now be expanded or collapsed. This gives you a better overview.

Element Text: Extended inner spacing


In LXT, many of our customers like to use drop shadows as an option for text elements with stylesheet „Default“. However, this comes with the cosmetic disadvantage that the text and drop shadow are positioned too close together. To use text elements with drop shadows in a visually appealing way, you had to use either text formatting functions or an expanded element group.

This workaround is no longer necessary, as there is now a new “Extended inner spacing” toggle. This creates the needed space around the text.

Text editor: Set quotation marks automatically


Now add quotation marks automatically. To do this, simply select the text and click on “Add quotation marks around the selected text” in the text editor.
