Very exciting indeed.  Thanks for that background.

Not for v9 - but some point next year (hopefully the first half!).

The PRs to make it build are one side of the story, there's also a fair 
bit of infrastructure work to do to (i.e. updating vulcan with the 
necessary builders so we can build RPi along with all the other 
platforms).


Warmest Regards,

Mark.

I haven't been watching GH so I'm not familiar with those PRs.  Before I 
get too excited, what does this mean for the LC RPi build?  Will this 
become an officially supported platform with v9?

That's only for multi-dimensional tab stops.

That PR is for Pi in general but works around the fact we don’t have a libcef 
build for Pi to use by just not adding a CEF browser factory. So libbrowser 
will work but do nothing. At the moment we use the distributed binaries for 
libcef (there is no Pi binary distributed) but if we did the work required to 
build it from source then we could feasibly support it because it can be built 
for Pi. That obviously comes with a fairly significant maintenance cost though.


Yes, but... that's one of several PRs that Fraser committed in one fell 
swoop for better ARM support. I've been living without any CEF browser 
for months now, so not having one on the Pi isn't going to keep my 
enthusiasm in check.

WOW! And moreover HTML5 progress and LCB progress ...
I have to cancel all my dates for the rest of the year.

Thanks a lot Mark for that hint.

I was working with this recently. The dictionary says "The tabAlign of a 
field is a return delimited list of alignments, separated by commas."


How is a return delimited list separated by commas?

I added it in LiveCode 7 because we needed most of its mechanisms to
implement right-to-left text properly; getting per-tab-cell alignment
was just a happy bonus ;)

By necessity, tabs have to apply to a whole line - it doesn't really make sense 
to have them settable at any other granularity. (Though, as always, you can set 
them on the field as a whole).

Tab alignment in fields

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

very old dumb question:

If you set tab stops for a field, Is there a way to set the alignment for one 
stop/column?
e.g. have all the numbers in the final column on the right align vertically to 
the decimal point or left??

I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but just checking if I missed something new…

All the new text style options seem to be for an entire paragraph (aka "line). 
Nothing in the dictionary related to a "chunk" alignment,
