# Text

The `<text>` can be used whenever you want to display some text.&#x20;

Content within `<text>` can contain some formatting tags like `<b>`, `<i>` or `<u>` and can use `<br/>` for force a new line.

It can be used both within [`<body>`](https://docs.atfinity.io/document-xml-adx/adx-elements/body) and within [`<template>`](https://docs.atfinity.io/document-xml-adx/adx-elements/template).

## Examples

```xml
<body ...>
  ...
  <text class="h1" spaceAfter="10">
    Hello World!!!<br/>
    <b>bold</b>
    <i>italic</i><br/>
    <u>underlined</u>
  </text>
</body>
```

```markup
<template ...>
  ...
  <text
    bottom="12mm"
    left="0"
    width="200mm"
    height="10mm"
    fontSize="8"
    align="center"
  >
