Object Description

---

The Object Description to be exported to the KML file is read from the contents of each objects Auto Label text.

Due to the limited length of a label the practical limit for the description is around 230 characters.

The description itself may consist of either plain text for a subset of HTML.

A typical label expression using two columns from the Mapinfo table would be:

Name_Column+"|"+Description_Column

An example of HTML  in the Description_Column would be :

<h1>CDATA Tags are important!</h1> <p><font color="red">Text is <i>more readable</i> and <b>easier to write</b> when you can avoid using entity references.</font></p>

Another example description showing several data values:

ID_Column+"|<ul><li>Possums ="+Column1+"</li><li>Snakes ="+Column2+"</li><li>Sharks ="+Column3+"</li></ul>"
