Yes. Thanks, though.
I know LC objects can be styled. However, within a script itself? For
example:
put line verse_number of field "original text" into verse_line
set the textStyle of item 3 of verse_line to "italic"
Not that simple?

Hi.
Have you looked up the "HTMLText" in the dictionary.
If I understand, this should help.

I see it like this, a little bit different.
A "true" Bezier object is a mathematical model, for thinking and abstract
computations, but not realizable in our deterministic world.
I've a script that combines tab-delimited text. Next, how to modify my
script so that parts of the combined text become italicized (or bold, or
underlined, or ...)?
The tab-delimited text is:

Hi everyone,
Soon, we will ship more copies of the book Programming LiveCode for the
Real Beginner. Before we do so, we ask everybody who has purchased the
book to confirm their address. We have sent out e-mails to all customers
to request a confirmation of their adress.

I was simply commenting that my sense of SVG is that it is cost free
alternative to Postscript, which has to be licensed by anyone who uses it. I
could be mistaken. Postscript is of course, a great deal more robust. For
example, I do not see anything in the SVG standard that uses color managemen

LC is pretty good able to do straight
Ah! I was under the impression that Alejandro had come up with a comprehensive
library of SVG routines. As an aside, from what I am reading, SVG seems to be
vector graphics for those of us who don't want to license Postscript. I've
never worked with them before, but my curiosity is piqued.

Unless I misunderstand what Alejandro is doing, his work is able to run
in v7 and earlier because it translates SVG elements into LC graphics.
He does a very good job of it, but SVG includes primitives beyond what
LC offers.
We have ovals, lines, polygons, roundRects, and rects, but SVG also
I saw this when I tried to assign Cmd-H to a menu item. It simply did not
show up in the menu because Apple uses Cmd-H to hide the current
application.
Even assuming that Apple traps the Quit command and handles it, when I
assigned Cmd-Q with a multi-stack stand alone, it didn't work. I had to use
Oddly, when I have a Quit command in a custom menu, the option does not show
up. I think this is because the Livecode menu has a Quit option already, which
when using the browse tool will hilite when pressing CMD-Q, but will not
actually quit. I have not tested this in a standalone yet.

I have a separate group of controls for each tab, and by group I really mean
"group". This way I just have the selectionChanged handler in the tab object
show and hide the corresponding group. In fact I name each group "grp"
so if for example I am showing the sites group:

One thing you might want to do using this process is to wait a period of time
before trying to read or write to said file. Unix based operating systems will
create a placeholder file prior to writing the actual file so that another
process cannot use that filename in the middle of a write operat
Inversely, one could argue that if this can be done strictly with Livecode the
way it is now, why do we need to make SVG support such a high priority?
