**Remarks**

1. The badge editor gives the freedom to organizer to select their font size auto adjust preference:
2. Auto resized according to the character length - No characters will be trimmed, all characters will be included but text size will vary across different attendees due to different number of words.
3. Fixed font size, trim extra characters - This will trim any characters that fall outside of the character count
4. The number of lines that can be filled will be stated on the editor. The number of characters will vary based on the size of the text block.\
