Questions
Is there a length limit?
Technically thousands of characters, but density rises fast — for anything longer than a paragraph, a URL code linking to a page reads more reliably.
Can I update the text later?
A static text code is permanent. Use a dynamic URL code instead if the content needs to change after printing.
