I can't see much need of this feature, unless you provide a real world example. Maybe one of these "nice to have" things. |

Looks useful, but might take a while to implement. Text along disconnected path will come first and allows your example if you use "duplicate items" to create multiple lines and then "combine polygons". |

Wouldn't be needed so much for normal books and magazines, but it could be used for artistic multiple-line headings and highlight boxes in flyers or posters, for instance. Agreed disconnected linked paths would allow the rest to be done manually. |

Quoting avox from closed 0003800: >>>Ah, you also want to go around bends? That definitely will get to compliccated (to implement) for normal textframes. >>> Can I offer a "text along path" feature which works with disconnected paths... To achieve this effect with linked path text, there would need to be one of two things: -a convenient way to make "offset" paths to make the concentric baseline shells (see screenshot in 3800, making a whole 'U' bend as one path), or -a convenient way to create separate path segments in each wing with diminishing sizes (which the frame shape provides for text) AND then link them sequentially by 'U' shell. >>> ...and allows right/left/center alignment per path segment? Yes, and block too, which might be the most useful. |

It could be usefull when you need to write vertice like t h i s It's the only way i've found to write so, using a bezier curve that is straight and stick the text to this path. But it's only possible with one line. To get a text, this feature could help, or create a text boxe that follows this path as origin side (usualy upper side), then the boxes could be linked to chain them. |
