Ok. That makes sense.

I thought it should be possible to just use attribute-set! and perhaps it
is. However I have not been able to figure it out. In the lua example the
formatting attributes are set on the user object which is somehow attached
to the text widget.
I tried something like this:
(attribute-set! x "ADDFORMATTAG" "\"ALIGNMENT\" = \"CENTER\"")
(attribute-set! x "ADDFORMATTAG" "\"SELECTION\" = \"1,1:3,50\"")
But it doesn't appear to make any difference. Suggestions?
Thanks,
Matt
