and I am hoping not to deal bloated htmltext, like using template <p align="center" spacebelow="12"><font size="18" color="#DE3E42">LESSON [[tChapterNum]]</font></p> <p align="center" spacebelow="0"><font size="18">[[tSubtitle]]</font></p> <p align="center" spacebelow="1"><font size="18" color="#63AE33"><img src="51276" char="@"></font></p>
------------ Until we get scrolling working in a datagrid, (on mobile) and also we want it keep simple, I frequently need to create a runtime list from the database. But the "typesetting tools" in Livecode depend on a field being present. e.g. ------ set the textAlign of line 1 of field "myField" to right -------- Currently you can lockscreen, # populate the fld with all kinds of "tweaking" to look nice unlockscreen But I was looking for a method, similar to the advice "get all you data in a variable and then show in a field" So that the field gets a single pixel update Is there a similar method to this with a field, where it all laid out ahead of time; and "bingo" you popular the field in one go without lockscreen?
