Hi Anthony,

Has anybody come up with a way to allow the user to, say, bold a
selection of text based on their selection, rather than on the substance
of the text? With a rich text editor, this generally involves the use of
some sort of hidden characters, which would be identified start and end
points for that particular style. Anybody have any idea of how to
implement something like that with Scintilla? If it's any help to know,
I'm using the wxStyledTextCtrl wrapper.
I use Scintilla like that but use the styles. It seems to work well.
I have an offset that I subtract (to skip the predefined styles) then
I 'OR' either $10 or $20 to represent bold or/and italic text, I tehn
add the offset and put it back.
Together I use 64 styles (values - offset) in groups of 16 - all set
to the same font type:
$00-$0f normal
$10-$1f bold
$20-$2f italic
$30-$3f bold+italic
If I have any colour/font changes I have to update all 64 styles.
Here is a link to the beta of the application so you can see it in
action:

I hope this helps. BTW: You will have to do your own
undo/redo/copy/cut/paste as the built-in ones destroy styles.
Thank you for this. Is there any chance I could get a short code
example? I'm not sure I know what you mean by "I 'OR' either $10 or $20
to represent bold or/and italic text". What are $10 and $20? I hope
that's not a horribly stupid question... ;-(
Here's what I'm working on, in case anybody is interested:
