Re: Best way to draw complex styles around text

2009-03-21 Thread Jenna Fox
I haven't tried this, but can't you put arbitrary stuff in to a para? Or do para's only accept strings and special styled text objects? It must be possible, as the Hackety Hack beta runs atop shoes, and it's code editor sometimes displays clickable button icons inline with the code. On 18

I've been playing with html 's today, and they come with a handy pair of methods, save, and restore. There's a stack of states, and each time you save, everything about the current environment is pushed in to that stack, and when you restore, the last thing added to the stack is removed and

Quick question... can bloopsaphone output a file with the tune? Like a wav or some such thing? Or is the data available in some way that would allow it to be written out as a pcm file without too much trouble? If so, awesome!

I would have thought the rubygems support and native extensions support already included in shoes would have been sufficient. What else is needed? Will the next shoes ship with bloopsaphone? It would be very nifty if it did. :) Good luck with the bug fixings and the Hackety Hacking. I'm sur

No, the builder system is simply injecting a SHY file (which is like a .tar, kind of, it decompresses...) in to the executable or dmg such that the actual software, when run, automatically looks in that hard coded location for something to decompress. Any platform should be able to package

If you look to the html inspiration to much of shoes, you'll find para equates to the html tag. Both of these elements are designed to represent one paragraph of text. If you look to english texts you'll see they are usually formatted in such a way that each paragraph is separated by a gap

Yes indeedy, shoes uses UTF-8 for all text. UTF-8 is incompatible with extended ascii. In your text editor of choice you should find an Encoding menu somewhere in the menu bar, which you can set to UTF-8, and resave your application. It should then run fine. :) I'm unsure about the video th

In this same vein, it sure would be great if on the unixy platforms the gems packaged were precompiled ones, as a lot of mac os x users don't have a compiler, and some linux user's don't as well. It's always annoyed me that rubygems has windows compiled versions but not unix ones. On 11/

Yes, a put request is roughly equivalent to uploading something via FTP. You just put the data to some path/uri. Any filename would be in the uri you're sending the request to. So far as I know, all of the rest api's in use today just accept a single payload as the body of a put request, us

I like :data more than :fields.. Also with your syntax, you don't know what 'field name' to give that file, so I suppose that would be a PUT request, which is nearly useless on the modern internet. I also like duck typing the objects in the :fields or :data or whatever to presume IO objec
