If .textwidth is set to 0, the maximum text width is determined like this:

  • If .hsb_visible = true the text width is determined by the widest line in the formatted text.
  • If .hsb_visible = false the text is automatically wrapped and the text width will be the width of the edittext without margins.

A value > 0 sets the maximum text width to this value. If required, a horizontal scrollbar is available whose display is controlled by the attribute .hsb_visible.
