Lets say I have a box with a white border that is 300px wide. I want to resize some text with an unknown length until it can fit in that box without wrapping to a new line. Is this possible with PrinceXML? Normally I would do this with something like fitty.js that does the calculations using MutationObserver.

Resize text until it fits within a certain width?
Yes, resizing text to fit inside a box without wrapping is achievable in PrinceXML, although it isn't as straightforward as using a JavaScript solution like Fitty.js.
PrinceXML doesn't natively support auto-resizing text dynamically based on container size (like JavaScript libraries can), but you can achieve similar results with a combination of CSS and media queries.
Here are a couple of options that you could try in PrinceXML:
CSS vw units: Using relative units like vw (viewport width) allows text to resize based on the width of the container, though this can be tricky for precise control. You might need to set specific breakpoints and tweak your text size based on the container's width.

.resizable-text {
font-size: 10vw; /* Adjust the percentage until it fits */
}
CSS @media queries: You can use media queries to adjust the font size for different widths of the container. While not as dynamic as Fitty.js, this allows for some flexibility.

@media (max-width: 300px) {
.resizable-text {
font-size: 14px;
}
}
@media (min-width: 301px) {
.resizable-text {
font-size: 16px;
}
}
Using text-overflow for overflow control: If your main goal is to prevent text from wrapping, you can use text-overflow: ellipsis to make sure the text doesn’t overflow the box.

.resizable-text {
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
Since PrinceXML doesn't support dynamic JavaScript-driven text resizing, you may need to design your content with responsive principles in mind, using CSS strategies like the ones mentioned.
