Re: UTF8 and hand crafting styles
Hi David, Do you think that simple conversion to UTF16 won't work? put uniencode(myUTF8Var,UTF8) into myUTF16Var set the unicodeText of fld x to myUTF16Var Once you have done this, you could retrieve and adjust the htmlText. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz Dutch forum: http://runrev.info/rrforum Simple, inexpensive, reliable web hosting. €11/year. http://economy-x-talk.com/server.html On 19 apr 2009, at 22:31, David Bovill wrote: I mainly work with htmltext - and add the styling direct to the chunks needed with scripts - like b... /b, font colours, links etc So how should I work with UTF8 that I get from a web service? 1. Turn the utf8 to htmltext and then format as usual 2. Figure out how to insert small utf16 equivalents for formatting What are the implications of converting to htmltext - I 'guess it's a loss-less conversion? ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Is anything at all lost in converting to htmltext and then back to UTF16? ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: UTF8 and hand crafting styles
Hi David, As far as I know, a unicode stream doesn't contain any formatting data at all. That means that formatting unicode directly text is impossible. I don't think that anything is actually lost when converting unicode text from and to htmlText, but there may be a few bugs. There are a few bugs in conversion to RTF text, with regard to the size of the text and colours (although the colours bug may have been fixed already). I can imagine that there are similar bugs in the conversion to and from htmlText. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz Dutch forum: http://runrev.info/rrforum Simple, inexpensive, reliable web hosting. €11/year. http://economy-x-talk.com/server.html On 19 apr 2009, at 22:50, David Bovill wrote: 2009/4/19 Mark Schonewille m.schonewi...@economy-x-talk.com yeah - that's what I'm thinking... its just that this would involve putting the text into the field - retrieving it as htmltxt - then manipulating it and setting the htmltext - so my two questions are: 1. is it any harder to add teh formatting direct to the utf/8 or utf16 as comared to doig the same to htmltext? 2.
