Can this be done with Xara Designer Pro X?
I'm looking at Xara Web Galery and have I seen this page www.paulbennett-artist.com with the texts adapting to the width of the browser?

No, it can't. The site is not a Xara-designed site. It is adaptive and is using an HTML DIV that scales with the browser width.
I say it cannot be done in Xara but it could, at a cost. The problem is the images.
Now I could include CSS code similar to:
<style>
#mememe {
min-width: 200px;
max-width: 500px;
width: 50vw;
}
</style>
to tweak the DIV holding the text but I would also need to override the current width with JavaScript. The hard work Xara has done with Repel text under all goes away and leaves a lot more bespoke coding.
As an effect is it clunky and becomes tiresome.
Xara's compromise is a reactive site that uses Variant, in which the designer controls the presentation not the viewer; especially important for an artist's site.
Potentially, Xara may be looking into adaptive solutions anyhow...

I agree re the repel text under but I think they're getting there.
HERE'S my best shot at it ;)
Hi Acorn, completely baffled here. The OP's original question was:
Doesn't my demo do exactly that? Not only the text but the images.Quote:
... with the texts adapting to the width of the browser?
In what way?Quote:
... all this is doing is scaling the page so it is not really comparable
Egg, OP gave an example site. That did not scale the text, only the container.
A different mechanism is in place.

Ah! Thanks for the clarification Acorn.
