 For a [[#Text|text/string property]], a format string can be used to limit the number of characters client users are allowed to enter.
 * To specify a lower bound, use e.g. <code>Length[10]</code> which requires a text input of at least 10 characters;
-* To specify a lower bound and an upper bound, use e.g. <code>Length[10,20]</code> which requires a text input of 10 to 20 characters.
