Line Spacing and Line Breaks

The line spacing in the R380 browser is single line with one additional pixel before the line and one after. If a line is too long to fit horizontally in the browser area, the line will be word- wrapped onto multiple lines. Any suitable inter-word space is used as line break point.

Text can co-exist with images, select lists, buttons, input fields and hyperlinks all on the same line.

WML

The beginning of a new line is defined by a br element.

The br element affects all contents in the browser view. Text, images, select lists, buttons, input fields, hyperlinks and tables are positioned on a new line according to the current alignment.

The br element can also be used inside a table cell (see Using Tables below).

A line break example

The example below shows how the br element will affect the card content appearance.

<wml>

<card id="init" title="BR tag"> <p>

This text will continue until the end of the line and then wrap to a new line. This is the normal way of displaying text. This sentence is followed by a br element.<br/>

So, this sentence will start on a new line.<br/><br/> This sentence is preceded by two br elements.

Here is some more text, blah, blah, ...

</p>

</card>

With a focus on personalization, the R380 allowed users to customize ringtones, wallpapers, and other settings to create a unique user experience. The phone's battery life was commendable for its time, providing extended usage between charges, which was crucial for mobile professionals.
