<textview label="The text below breaks evenly
                as the browser window is resized."
  text="Ne reprimique scribentur mea, eos at dicit

        est in inermis verterem intellegam. Cu per doctus
        partiendo maluisset. Ut eam detracto reprimique
        intellegam. Ei semper fabellas sit. Et pri ubique
        iisque veritus, in mei nobis clita,

Sample

textviewSample.fls.xml

...
<numberbox id="tigers"
  label="How many dangerous animals have you got?"
  numberFormat='{decimalSeparator: ".", postfix: " tigers"}' />
<numberbox id="lions"
  label="" numberFormat='{decimalSeparator: ".",
                          postfix: " lions"}' />
<numberbox id="bears"
  label="" numberFormat='{decimalSeparator: ".",
                          postfix: " bears"}' />
<textview label="Oh my!"
  text='{"You have "
        || TOSTRING(tigers.number + lions.number + bears.number)
        || " dangerous animals!"}'/>
...

The textview below the three numberboxes references the user input in all three

A workflow script running in the Mobilengine Cloud would access the submission of the webform above in the format below:

{...
  tigers: {number: 2},
  lions: {number: 4},
  bears: {number: 1},
...}

See the workflow script reference guide for more details on data type mapping.
