[OT] Atom Text Editor for Script Editiing - First Impressions

Re: LCB API's

That's where I looked. If you look at the documentation for date, the only thing that comes up is local date, but in the example, local is colorized as a modifier and date as a keyword, and the same occurs with time - it is shown as local time, but again, local is colorized as a modifier and time

In addition, in the dictionary, "localDate" is one word, but in the examples, and in the code in clock, it is not. On Mon, Aug 31, 2015 at 12:13 PM, Mike Kerner wrote: > That's where I looked. > If you look at the documentation for date, the only thing that comes up

Re: LCB API's

Now I'm really confused. If I don't search for "date" or "time" and instead go to the LCB side, and scroll down to com.livecode.date, it lists localDate, but the example that comes up when you select it shows "local date" as the syntax and in the example, shows "local time". So, that's supposed

Yes, if you look at the table for the entry for com.livecode.date, there are three column headings: NameSummarySyntax LocalDate is the name of the entry in the dictionary. "the local date" is the syntax. The timezone thing you have found in the release notes is in the IDE changes section, undewr

Re: LCB API's

There is currently no way to reliably detect the timezone in LCB at the moment, unfortunately. So currently the timezone property of the clock is actually (as you note) incorrect, and actually represents a local timezone offset. We need to add some syntax to LCB which allows access to the

Re: LCB API's

So if the name and the syntax are not the same then why show the name? The first thing one would be inclined to do is put "localDate" into one's code, which, I gather, would be a mistake. In addition, the syntax in the documentation colors "local" differently than "date", implying that "local"
