Hi there,
Labels don't support HTML, so you need to use a newline instead. moment requires that you escape newlines with []
so your labelFunction
should look like this.
labelFunction: function(value, date, categoryAxis) {
return moment(date).locale("de").format("MMM[\n]YYYY");
}
Demo: https://codepen.io/team/amcharts/pen/9dd18dca621c815f1c7f0cac181bbc3f?editors=0010
I hope this helps.
Best,

Awesome. I'll have a look into it tomorrow. Thanks for your advice.
I don't know why but somehow the labelFunction supports the html tagon non date values. That was the reason why I was suprised, that it dosn't work on date values.

Gotcha.
Yeah, I'm seeing this as well. Labels are SVG <text>
nodes so <br>
tags don't work directly. We typically convert <br>
tags behind the scenes when static labels are involved (i.e. using labelText
and not labelFunction
). I'm not sure why this conversion is happening in a non date-based category axis label function, but general rule of thumb is to always use newlines for labels. Balloons are the only instance where HTML is supported directly.

Hi together, I need some information about the category axis. If I use the category axis with plain strings, I can use the labelFunction in that way:
labelFunction: function (value, data, categoryAxis) { return moment(value).locale('de').format('MMM<br>YYYY'); },
The result will be a line break between month and Year
Unfortunately if I use this label function in the date context:
parseDates: true, labelFunction: function (value, date, categoryAxis) { return moment(date).locale('de').format('MMM<br>YYYY'); },
The date will be parsed but the line break "<br>" will printed as a string (Jan<br>1999).
How can I achive to use the advanteges of a date category axes in combination with label line breaks.
Hope somebody can help me.
