Using the Label

The Label component displays a single line of text, typically to identify some other element or activity on a web page. You can specify that a label be formatted with HTML to take advantage of its text formatting tags. You can also control the alignment and size of a label. Label components don't have borders, cannot be focused, and don't broadcast any events.

A live preview of each Label instance reflects changes made to parameters in the Property inspector or Component inspector during authoring. The label doesn't have a border, so the only way to see its live preview is to set its text parameter.
