bare tag

The bare tag simplifies the HTML output generated by content in blocks and conditioned text widgets.

set list: DCM_ROWS
1. Mode {{Q: model}} {{EXP: <p>The following....</p>}}
2. Storage Capacity {{Q: storage}} {{EXP: <p>Storage ....</p>}}
3. Battery Life {{Q: battery}} {{EXP: <p>A common measure ...</p>}}

block: <<BLOCK

set text: DCM_ROW_%%ID%%
text: %%TEXT%%
explain: <b>Feature Description: %%TEXT%%</b><br /><br /> %%EXP%%
dialog: y

BLOCK
inline: y
bare: y
list: DCM_ROWS

Details

• To use bare with blocks, include bare: y on the block definition (along with the required inline tag).
• To use bare with set conditioned text  or show conditioned text, include bare: y as a tag.
• The bare tag can be useful when the default HTML affects the survey layout, particularly with the cell tag or custom scripts.
• A regular inline block (without bare) wraps all its free text content within an outer <div> element, in addition to the <div> elements generated by each iteration of the block. A bare block, on the other hand, simplifies the HTML output by wrapping each freetext iteration with a <div class> and removing outer <div> elements.

Additional examples

Comparing a 'set conditioned text' with and without 'bare: y'

One common use of bare is to eliminate unwanted line breaks caused by <div> elements. Here, the set conditioned text 'TIME' is being placed within a show text widget. The text that should be displayed in lieu of '__TIME__' is being pushed to the next line. This is an undesirable effect that is not intended or wanted.

No 'bare: y' applied

set conditioned text: TIME
1. 20 {if anyChecked($panel,182,256)}
2. 15 {if anyChecked($panel,99)}
3. 15 {if anyChecked($panel,991)}

show text: PREAMBLE
text:<<END

END

With 'bare: y' applied

Here, we add the bare tag to the set conditioned text. Now, the line does not have the unexpected break.

set conditioned text: TIME
bare: y
1. 20 {if anyChecked($panel,182,256)}
2. 15 {if anyChecked($panel,99)}
3. 15 {if anyChecked($panel,991)}

show text: PREAMBLE
text:<<END
