# LegacyRendering

Set `LegacyRendering` to `True` to use legacy rendering behavior (from before View component version 12.8).

By default, in version 12.8 and later, View uses a newer File Content Extraction library to improve its HTML rendering. The new library provides better rendering of HTML documents:

- word processor documents are rendered as a print view.

- spreadsheets have a tabbed interface.

- slideshow presentations use JavaScript to provide a slideshow-like experience in the browser.

If necessary, you can use the previous rendering behavior, by setting `LegacyRendering` to `True`.

Type: | Boolean
Default: | False
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | Viewing
Example: | `LegacyRendering=True`
