<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The [[Help:Properties_and_types|datatype]] '''string''' is used for simple words and similar character sequences. It has the following restrictions:<br />
<br />
* As for all properties, the sequence "::" is not possible in property values (not even inside nowiki tags).<br />
* 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]].<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== Enumerations ==<br />
<br />
You can use the special property [[Property:Allows value|Allows value]] to restrict a property to a particular set of values. For example you could limit "Status" to certain states.<br />
<br />
The old Type:Enumeration from SMW versions prior to 1.0 is an alias for [[Type:String]] since it has the same behaviour.<br />
