<description>
- Label is a control that displays formatted text, optionally autowrapping it to the [Control] area. It inherits from range to be able to scroll wrapped text vertically.
+ Label displays plain text on the screen. It gives you control over the horizontal and vertical alignment, and can wrap the text inside the node's bounding rectangle. It doesn't support bold, italics or other formatting. For that, use [RichTextLabel] instead.
