ios font size 16pt recommendation

[maki aea]

just learned today that if we set font-size to less than 16px (as tiddlywiki.com does) then ios zooming occurs automatically in text boxes

this is unwanted behaviour for most of us; to workaround this, use quine's "disable zoom" option (which disables all zooming) or set your tiddlywiki's default font-size to 16px (sidebar|control panel|appearance|theme tweaks)

sorry i am testing on iphone ios 14.3

ipados 15.4 does not show this behaviour

iphone 12 mini ios 15.4.1 also shows this behaviour

https://uxcellence.com/2014/fix-ios-input-zoom has some gifs illustrating this behaviour

iphone users viewing our public tiddlywikis on the web will experience this

Hi Maki,

The behavior you are seeing is intentional - so I hope it is working well for you?

For background:

If you open tiddlywiki.com in safari on any iOS device you can see the default behavior. It is governed by a meta tag in the tiddlywiki html.

Since Quine implements the same web engine as iOS Safari, by default it behaves the same way as iOS Safari.

We introduced the zoom on/off toggle to switch the default zoom behavior on and off - because there are times when you want to change it for ANY device.

Does this information help you?

Chris.

FYI...

The default tiddlywiki (zoom-on) viewport meta tag:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />

To turn zoom-off Quine replaces the in-memory html with viewport meta tag:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=0" />

To turn zoom-on Quine restores the default viewport meta tag.

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />

Quine saves your zoom-on/zoom-off preference between sessions - so when you open a wiki it will set the viewport meta tag based on your zoom-on/zoom-off setting in the toolbar (...) menu.

thanks so much for your reply chris! ah, i didn't know that toggling the zoom off would help for other users of our wikis too (i thought it was just within quine), that's very handy, and solves the issue, thank you!
