Roger, The advantage of the array notation for textStyle is that you can explicitly set each style for a given run of text.
The disadvantage of the array notation for textStyle is that you have to explicitly un-set each style for a given run of text. ;) set the textStyle[“bold”] of the selectedChunk to false But as you note, if you want to clear out *all* style formatting, the old, non-array method of setting the textStyle to plain works great. Nuke those styles! Devin On Jul 7, 2017, at 8:59 AM, Roger Eller via use-livecode <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com<mailto:use-livecode@lists.runrev.com>> wrote: That worked perfectly for all but plain. In my plain button, I had to write it as: set the textStyle of the selectedChunk to "plain".
