# Subtitle, Caption, and Text

A note always displays its title — either its $Name or, if it has a display expression, the result of evaluating $DisplayExpression. If the title does not fit in the available area, Storyspace will draw a truncated title.

If there is sufficient space, Storyspace will also draw that note’s subtitle beneath the title. If the note has a caption, the caption is drawn beneath the note.

If there is even more space, Storyspace will draw the note’s text beneath the title and subtitle.

Subtitles and captions may be entered and modified in the Text Inspector.

You may also edit subtitles and captions by clicking them while a note is selected in the map. When editing the title, use tab to move to the subtitle and caption.

The appearance of the subtitle is controlled by the attributes $SubtitleColor, $SubtitleSize, and $SubtitleOpacity. The subtitle is most easily added or changed in the Subtitle panel of the Inspector (⌘-1).
