# Text Information

![](https://3129694242-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LZhrAmZtyBbF7fWLKl8%2F-MQvFGDX28wHGFouXYUw%2F-MQvbWy1jHuRrnQLxnEn%2Fcontent-article-information-7.0.png?alt=media\&token=51f80e33-2d9f-42ce-a7ea-e8ea229244c0)

The one feature that can be configured for Text Information is the unit of measure, and how many characters one of those units contain. The default value for this configuration is `"inches"` as unit, and `10` as characters per unit.

These values are arbitrary and could be configured for example as unit: `"millimeter"`, and `12` as character. Which values to use depend on the customer's preference.

Configuration for this is located in the writer-client configuration file.

**Text information configuration shown in context.**

```javascript
{
    "textInformation": {
        "charactersPerUnit": 10,
        "unit": "inches"
    },
    "plugins": ...
}
```
