The following samples demonstrate the use of plain text clips, inline text, and RealText clips. Many other sample files listed in the Code Samples section also use RealText or inline text to create text annotations.

PLAIN TEXT CLIPS AND INLINE TEXT
The Clip Source Tags section explains how to use plain text clips and inline text within a SMIL presentation.

Sample File	Description	Featured Illustrated	Reference
plaintext.smil	A plain text file (.txt) displays within a SMIL presentation.	<text/> tag using a plain text file as its source	click here
textfont.smil	The same text file displays multiple times in sequence, each time using a different font, size, or text color.	<param/> tags used to change default text file properties	click here
inlinetext.smil	Inline text created directly in a SMIL file displays in different regions, using advanced features such as transition effects and animations.	<text/> tags creating inline text clips	click here
inlinefont.smil	A plain text file (.txt) displays within a SMIL presentation.	<text/> tag using a plain text file as its source	click here
textalign.smil	Inline text samples illustrate horizontal and vertical text alignment.	hAlign and vAlign values in <param/> tags	click here
howdoesitwork.smil	A demonstration of text effects similar to those you can find in animation clips.	inline text with transition effects	click here

REALTEXT WINDOW TYPES
RealText includes several window types that automatically display text in certain modes, such as scrolling from bottom to top, or crawling from right to left.

generic.rt	A generic RealText window that displays text at different times.	generic window behavior, as well as <time begin/> and <clear/> tags	click here
news.rt	A scrollingnews window in which text scrolls from bottom to top.	scrollingnews window behavior, as well as the scrollrate attribute	click here
prompter.rt	A teleprompter window in which new text pushes older text up and off the screen.	teleprompter window behavior, as well as <time begin/> tags	click here
marquee.rt	A marquee window in which text crawls from right to left.	marquee window behavior, as well as <font> tags	click here
ticker.rt	A tickertape window in which static text crawls from right to left.	tickertape window behavior, as well as <tu> and <tl> tags	click here

REALTEXT FEATURES
RealText includes many features for timing, positioning, and displaying text.

textsample.smil	An overview of RealText features.	window types, timing commands, positioning commands, font control, SMIL integration	click here
fontfaces.rt	A list of font faces that RealText displays.	supported fonts	click here
textlinks.rt	A scrolling RealText clip displays several types of hyperlinks that you can create in a RealText clip.	RealText hyperlinks for opening Web pages and streaming media, as well as for issuing RealOne Player commands	click here
videonotes.smil	A presentation that includes a video and a RealText clip as annotation.	RealText in a SMIL presentation	click here
videosubtitles.smil	Semi-transparent RealText subtitles overlay a video.	rn:backgroundOpacity used to make a RealText clip semi-transparent	click here
videosubtitles2.smil	The same as the preceding, except that the subtitles display on an opaque background below the video.	RealText in a SMIL presentation	click here
textfitbig.smil	The same RealText clip displays in four separate SMIL regions, each of which is larger than the clip and uses a different fit attribute.	<region/> tag fit attribute's effect on RealText	click here
textfitsmall.smil	The same as the preceding example, except that the four SMIL regions are smaller than the RealText clip.	<region/> tag fit attribute's effect on RealText	click here
