Object Description
Previous Top 

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>"
