Re: Re-2: Unicode Displaying in Runtime Revolution
Hello, As previous trial, I still have a problem in displaying Spanish and German speacial characters, i.e. inverted?, accented characters, characters with umlaut, esset characters. Although I converted both of the files to /.txt/ with /unicodeText/ property settings and using /binfile:/ , they displayed mixed up characters. Any suggestions are welcome, Thank you in advance Regards, Marisa Hi Trevor, Thank you so much for your information. I really appreciated. I tried on that (binfile: )and it returns Chinese chararters instead of Arabic!? So, I tried again for displaying Thai characters; /file is .txt/. It works great!!! Anyway, I keep working on unicodeText and binfile with /.txt /files. They all work fine. However, I found out that .rtf files cannot be displayed correctly, am I right? So, I have to save all the files to .txt as a Unicode format. Thank you again.

Unicode problem
I've created a search replace application to be used from within Adobe Indesign and it works perfectly: A list with search words, a second list with replace words, some options and Indesign has got a supercharged SR function with whole lists of words replaced by one click on a button. To add words to the list, one can enter it in a Search textfield, the second part in the replace textfield. An add button adds it to the list. But... InDesign uses OpenType or double-byte fonts. These are unicode fonts. When copying a word from a page in InDesign the clipboard contains te text with the special characters, but they are mixed (unicode and regular). Problem: - Paste in the entry field shows the correct text, moving it up to the list doesn't. Solution: - Loop through the characters in the entry field and set the unicode text or the regular text of the correct line in the list. Question: - Is there a better way to do this? Problem 2: I know what number the last line of the list is, so I put this number + 1 into a var. Each new line will be entered into line varName. - When the last line of the list is a unicode text, the next line is entered on the same line, it seams that the linenumber in the var doesn't have any effect anymore.

Re: Simple Scoping Question
Hi, Ok, I think I have found the problem! I have a openStack handler in the script of the Stack, as so: on openStack local myStackFileName,myStackShortName,myGlobalStackName put the fileName of this stack into myStackFileName put the short name of this stack into myStackShortName put replaceText(myStackFileName, myStackShortName,GlobalStack into myGlobalStackName set the cpGlobalStackFileName to myGlobalStackName --*Breakpoint here --start using stack myGlobalStackName -Commented out to stop crashing end openStack on closeStack if the cpGlobalStackFileName of this stack empty -- stop using stack the cpGlobalStackFileName of this stack -Commented out to stop crashing set the cpGlobalStackFileName to empty end if end closeStack --- The Stack is closed and then I re-open it and hit the breakpoint and the variables are set as you would expect and I think the start using line would work ok. I then hit run and then Save the Stack and hit the breakpoint again, this time the variables are set as follows: myStackFileName - empty myStackShortName - empty myGlobalStackName - revSaving I hadn't realized that the openStack handler gets called when doing a Save. What is the recommended action for handle this? I could do one of three things: 1. Check if myStackFileName is empty and if so skip the start uisng 2. Check the Stack Name for revSaving and if so skip the start uisng 3. Check if in development moce and if so skip the start uisng I suppose I need similar tests in preOpenStack and closeStack?

Re: Unicode problem
Sometimes life can be so simple...

These are unicode fonts. When copying a word from a page in InDesign the clipboard contains te text with the special characters, but they are mixed (unicode and regular).

CSS
Well I do a lot of web work too, and I assure you that CSS is the future and the way large and consistent sites can be reasonably done. What's frustrating is that if a page is constructed in CSS that it is not easily possible to see what the commands do as you don't see the results until it's rendered in a browser or two... Using tables is discouraged today - you can do it better and in a more modular way with CSS. And CSS allows absolute pixel dimensions for better cross platform display. HTML was not designed to be a design protocol, but a way to organize and link information online, in outline form. The font and many other HTML tags are limited and vary depending on platform and browser and shouldn't be used in todays html code. CSS is standard, and is essential for database-driven sites. I had to learn to love it, but I think it's great. And it WOULD be nice to have style sheets in REV if we're going to have html. sqb X What, no Replace in your text editor? Again, I'm mainly annoyed with the way that people use CSS, and the fact that people seem to use it for EVERYTHING, not just large documents, which makes small ones much more difficult to read.

Re: CSS
As the author of a widely read book on CSS -- specifically targeted at the question of how you replace table-driven layouts with CSS -- I must say that I agree with Stephen here. Being annoyed at peoples' use of CSS is kind of futile; it's been decreed as the standard and its huge advantages (principally, I think, the separation of content from presentation and standardization in browsers, which is still not 100% but better than for other approaches) means it is going to be here to stay. I've played around a bit with creating a Rev stack that would read formatted text in Rev apps and create appropriate CSS style sheets to describe the content but given that the support in htmlText is so weak in terms of the totality of HTML and the fact that the content would have to be modified to refer to the style sheet in any case, I haven't seen any real value there beyond the academic satisfaction.

Too little space leads to too many spaces
Yesterday I encountered an oddity when I started to work on a Rev project: I started to get repeating space characters in the script editor. When I closed the script the problem seemed to go away, at least until I focused on a field when the spaces reappeared. My keyboard looked fine, and so I switched to another app and there seemed to be no problem... until I clicked in a editable place. I guessed that Rev had gone mad and so I quit it. That didn't fix the problem so I restarted the computer, which did. Today I started the same Rev project and immediately found the same repeating space characters appearing in a field, and in my other apps. Oh no, a Rev bug bites? No!. It turns out that when I started to work with Rev each time I got out my project workbook and put it in front of the keyboard. The book didn't press the space key on that keyboard, but I have a second keyboard behind my monitor simply to act as a USB extender and when I put the workbook in front of my primary keyboard, I was pushing the keyboard back a bit which pushed the monitor back a bit which pushed some CD covers onto the space key of my USB extender keyboard! -- Michael J.

OT but, (my favorite software rant) WestCiv's Style Master is an outstanding aid to the process of using CSS. You won't get 100 percent preview but it will get you very close... Lots of things you want to see right away, like color etc will be there for you instantly as you edit the CSS without going to your browser. And it has the best CSS editing interface I've seen to date, worth every penny. Style Master now stands next to Revolution, BBedit, Interarchy and Image Ready as top tools to get the web job done pronto. Everytime I try some other integrated tool (GoLive or whatever) I always revert back to this suite for real productivity. And Dan, as an owner of HTML Utopia... I want to thank you... without your book I don't think I could have made the bridge from the Cretan Era to the CSS era. Read I three times cover to cover and still refer to it regularly.

Hi Trevor, Thank you agian for your suggestion. You are right about the database of UTF-8. :-) However, I've tried on that, too, but the result is the same!! I wrote script as: on openCard global tID set the unicodeText of fld testDB to uniEncode( revDataFromQuery (, return, tID, SELECT cityLocalName FROM POSTAL_CODE_TABLE),utf8) end openCard Am I doing sth wrong with the script? Also, I used to try on ; put revDataFromQuery (, return, tID, SELECT cityLocalName FROM POSTAL_CODE_TABLE) into tCityThai set the unicodeText of fld TestDB to uniEncode (tCityThai, utf8) The result is the same! Then, i thought 'binfile' may help. So, I saved the result from revDataFromQuery directly as binfile. However, when I open it, the result was wrong. Anyway, I tried to put its content to field with unicodeText settings and uniEncode. put revDataFromQuery (, return, tID, SELECT cityLocalName FROM POSTAL_CODE_TABLE) into URL binfile: tCityThai.txt set the unicodeText of fld TestDB to uniEncode(URL binfile: tCityThai.txt, utf8) The result is the same, too. Any suggestions? Regards, Marisa Trevor DeVore wrote: Marisa, I imagine your database is storing the text as UTF8. Revolution fields use UTF16. Setting the field using this: set unicodeText of fld Unicode to uniEncode(myDatabaseValue, UTF8) This should display the characters correctly. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
