Type:String
From Edge of Darkness Wiki
String
The datatype string is used for simple words and similar character sequences. It has the following restrictions:
- As for all properties, the sequence "::" is not possible in property values (not even inside nowiki tags).
- values must not be longer than 255 characters (if you use non-latin characters, this number might be smaller). If you need longer strings, use Type:Text.
You can use some wiki markup inside a string property such as runs of ' for bold and italic, and the markup will change the appearance of the string. You cannot embed semantic annotations inside a string property.
Enumerations
You can use the special property Allows value to restrict a property to a particular set of values. For example you could limit "Status" to certain states.
The old Type:Enumeration from SMW versions prior to 1.0 is an alias for Type:String since it has the same behaviour.
This documentation page applies to all SMW versions from 1.0 to the most current version.
This type is among the standard datatypes of this wiki.
