<p>The GtkLabel implementation of the GtkBuildable interface supports a

“start“ and “end“ and allows you to specify <a href="/home/mclasen/gnome/share/gtk-doc/html/pango/pango-Text-Attributes.html#PangoAttribute"><span class="type">PangoAttribute</span></a> values for
this label.</p>

<p>The start and end attributes specify the range of characters to which the
Pango attribute applies. If start and end are not specified, the attribute is
applied to the whole text. Note that specifying ranges does not make much
sense with translatable attributes. Use markup embedded in the translatable
content instead.</p>

<a name="id-1.3.8.2.10.5"></a><h3>Mnemonics</h3>
<p>Labels may contain “mnemonics”. Mnemonics are
underlined characters in the label, used for keyboard navigation.
Mnemonics are created by providing a string with an underscore before
the mnemonic character, such as <code class="literal">"_File"</code>, to the
functions <a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-new-with-mnemonic" title="gtk_label_new_with_mnemonic ()"><code class="function">gtk_label_new_with_mnemonic()</code></a> or
<a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-set-text-with-mnemonic" title="gtk_label_set_text_with_mnemonic ()"><code class="function">gtk_label_set_text_with_mnemonic()</code></a>.</p>
<p>Mnemonics automatically activate any activatable widget the label is
inside, such as a <a class="link" href="GtkButton.html" title="GtkButton"><span class="type">GtkButton</span></a>; if the label is not inside the
mnemonic’s target widget, you have to tell the label about the target
using <a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-set-mnemonic-widget" title="gtk_label_set_mnemonic_widget ()"><code class="function">gtk_label_set_mnemonic_widget()</code></a>. Here’s a simple example where
the label is inside a button:</p>
<div class="informalexample">
  <table class="listing_frame" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <td class="listing_lines" align="right"><pre>1

<p></p>
<p>There’s a convenience function to create buttons with a mnemonic label
already inside:</p>
<div class="informalexample">
  <table class="listing_frame" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

<p>To make it easy to format text in a label (changing colors,
fonts, etc.), label text can be provided in a simple
markup format.</p>
<p>Here’s how to create a label with a small font:</p>
<div class="informalexample">
  <table class="listing_frame" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <td class="listing_lines" align="right"><pre>1
2</pre></td>
        <td class="listing_code"><pre class="programlisting">label <span class="gtkdoc opt">=</span> <span class="function"><a href="GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-new">gtk_label_new</a></span> <span class="gtkdoc opt">(</span>NULL<span class="gtkdoc opt">);</span>
<span class="function"><a href="GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-set-markup">gtk_label_set_markup</a></span> <span class="gtkdoc opt">(</span><span class="function">GTK_LABEL</span> <span class="gtkdoc opt">(</span>label<span class="gtkdoc opt">),</span> <span class="string">&quot;&lt;small&gt;Small text&lt;/small&gt;&quot;</span><span class="gtkdoc opt">);</span></pre></td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
</div>

<p></p>
<p>(See complete documentation of available
tags in the Pango manual.)</p>
<p>The markup passed to <a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-set-markup" title="gtk_label_set_markup ()"><code class="function">gtk_label_set_markup()</code></a> must be valid; for example,
literal &lt;, &gt; and &amp; characters must be escaped as &amp;lt;, &amp;gt;, and &amp;amp;.
If you pass text obtained from the user, file, or a network to
<a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-set-markup" title="gtk_label_set_markup ()"><code class="function">gtk_label_set_markup()</code></a>, you’ll want to escape it with
<a href="/home/vagrant/ruby-gnome2.win32/glib2/vendor/local/share/gtk-doc/html/glib/glib-Simple-XML-Subset-Parser.html#g-markup-escape-text"><code class="function">g_markup_escape_text()</code></a> or <a href="/home/vagrant/ruby-gnome2.win32/glib2/vendor/local/share/gtk-doc/html/glib/glib-Simple-XML-Subset-Parser.html#g-markup-printf-escaped"><code class="function">g_markup_printf_escaped()</code></a>.</p>
<p>Markup strings are just a convenient way to set the <a href="/home/mclasen/gnome/share/gtk-doc/html/pango/pango-Text-Attributes.html#PangoAttrList-struct"><span class="type">PangoAttrList</span></a> on
a label; <a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-set-attributes" title="gtk_label_set_attributes ()"><code class="function">gtk_label_set_attributes()</code></a> may be a simpler way to set
attributes in some cases. Be careful though; <a href="/home/mclasen/gnome/share/gtk-doc/html/pango/pango-Text-Attributes.html#PangoAttrList-struct"><span class="type">PangoAttrList</span></a> tends to
cause internationalization problems, unless you’re applying attributes
to the entire string (i.e. unless you set the range of each attribute
to [0, <a href="/home/vagrant/ruby-gnome2.win32/glib2/vendor/local/share/gtk-doc/html/glib/glib-Basic-Types.html#G-MAXINT:CAPS"><code class="literal">G_MAXINT</code></a>)). The reason is that specifying the start_index and
end_index for a <a href="/home/mclasen/gnome/share/gtk-doc/html/pango/pango-Text-Attributes.html#PangoAttribute"><span class="type">PangoAttribute</span></a> requires knowledge of the exact string
being displayed, so translations will cause problems.</p>

<p>Labels can be made selectable with <a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-set-selectable" title="gtk_label_set_selectable ()"><code class="function">gtk_label_set_selectable()</code></a>.
Selectable labels allow the user to copy the label contents to

— such as error messages — should be made selectable.</p>

<a name="label-text-layout"></a><h3>Text layout</h3>
<p>A label can contain any number of paragraphs, but will have
performance problems if it contains more than a small number.
Paragraphs are separated by newlines or other paragraph separators
understood by Pango.</p>
<p>Labels can automatically wrap text if you call
<a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-set-line-wrap" title="gtk_label_set_line_wrap ()"><code class="function">gtk_label_set_line_wrap()</code></a>.</p>
<p>gtk_label_set_justify() sets how the lines in a label align
with one another. If you want to set how the label as a whole
aligns in its available space, see the <a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#GtkWidget--halign" title="The “halign” property"><span class="type">“halign”</span></a> and
<a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#GtkWidget--valign" title="The “valign” property"><span class="type">“valign”</span></a> properties.</p>
<p>The <a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html#GtkLabel--width-chars" title="The “width-chars” property"><span class="type">“width-chars”</span></a> and <a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html#GtkLabel--max-width-chars" title="The “max-width-chars” property"><span class="type">“max-width-chars”</span></a> properties
can be used to control the size allocation of ellipsized or wrapped
labels. For ellipsizing labels, if either is specified (and less
than the actual text size), it is used as the minimum width, and the actual
text size is used as the natural width of the label. For wrapping labels,
width-chars is used as the minimum width, if specified, and max-width-chars
is used as the natural width. Even if max-width-chars specified, wrapping
labels will be rewrapped to use all of the available width.</p>
<p>Note that the interpretation of <a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html#GtkLabel--width-chars" title="The “width-chars” property"><span class="type">“width-chars”</span></a> and
<a class="link" href="GtkLabel.html#GtkLabel--max-width-chars" title="The “max-width-chars” property"><span class="type">“max-width-chars”</span></a> has changed a bit with the introduction of

<a name="id-1.3.8.2.10.9"></a><h3>Links</h3>
<p>Since 2.18, GTK+ supports markup for clickable hyperlinks in addition
to regular Pango markup. The markup for links is borrowed from HTML,
using the <code class="literal">&lt;a&gt;</code> with “href“ and “title“ attributes. GTK+ renders links
similar to the way they appear in web browsers, with colored, underlined
text. The “title“ attribute is displayed as a tooltip on the link.</p>
<p>An example looks like this:</p>
<div class="informalexample">
  <table class="listing_frame" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <td class="listing_lines" align="right"><pre>1

<p>The ::move-cursor signal is a

If the cursor is not visible in <em class="parameter"><code>entry</code></em>

the viewport to be moved instead.</p>
<p>Applications should not connect to it, but may emit it with
