Description

The info widget is a versatile labelled widget that can be used to output text. It supports both binding to a unit variable or function and displaying of lang file values directly.

The title is specified as a key to a lang file entry and is required. A tooltip can also be specified as a key to a lang file entry but is optional. Visibility bindings are also supported.
