Aspect ratio
The aspect ratio of the marquee is the ratio of its width to its height. If left as ‘auto’ the height of the marquee will match that of its text content. You can adjust this by entering a desired aspect ratio using w:h syntax.
If the entered aspect ratio causes the text to overflow, the marquee will adjust automatically increase its height to prevent that. In this case the actual aspect ratio of the marquee will not match the provided aspect ratio.
Heading
Enter the marquee heading using the Text Data Definition field.
Snippet
Enter the marquee snippet using the Content WYSIWYG. If you don’t want a snippet, you can safely leave this field blank.
