Hello All:
I would like to represent the electron configuration of elements using superscript and subscripts and would like to know what the best approach my be. So far, I have the following approach working, but the superscripted text is not a smaller font size as it should be:
Superscripting and subscripting of text is something I use regularly. And so I have written a parser which takes text in one field, using the carrot to denote a superscript and tilde to denote a subscript and formats this text in another field.
For example, the equation:
x^2 + y^2 = z^2
would be formatted with the squares as superscripts, reduced in font size. You can use a combo such as x^1~2 which would format as x super 1 sub 2.
I have put the stack on my web site (control-click to download) http://home.infostations.net/jhurley/
There are two situations I haven't worked out.
The program need to recognize a delimiter to denote the end of the sub/superscript. Such common delimiter area: comma, period, and space. (In the above equation, a space appears after each superscript, *except* the last--end of line.
But I haven't been able to include "return" or just the end of the field. Anyone????
The line that needs fixing is:
repeat until char tNum+1+j of field 1 is in quote & " " & "," & "." & quote then
How do I get a "return" and end of field into this--between the quote pair?
Jim
