You can set up a series of fields, in which the text scrolls through the fields as though it were one field. You can set the size of each field to be any size you want, so that you can effectively indent a paragraph, wrap around pictures quite perfectly, etc...
I send you the stack I created that does this, if you would like to see it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Hutchison Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2005 11:39 AM To: How to use Revolution Subject: Editing Styled Text in RunRev Hi, I'm getting to be a bit of a pain, sorry about that, but I'm going to ask anyway. I'm not having much luck with finding some of the answers to my questions in the docs (partly terminology differences, partly conceptual differences, partly runrev doesn't do everything, of course, and I might be poking around the boundaries and documentation is notoriously bad at describing what isn't there nor alternatives to what isn't there :-) I need a text editor. The text field in runrev is capable of showing styled text that looks to be almost sufficient for that side of things. Input is another matter altogether. Okay, here's the visual display stuff that I think I need: * basics very much along the lines of the HTML text * paragraph indent * inline images, ideally something like HTML in a browser, but small inline icons as place markers is something I can live with * bullets and numbered lists (like HTML) I can deal with bullets and numbered lists programatically if I have to. It looks as though the HTMLText property supports <img> tags but I have not investigated. Indent. I've not spotted anything yet about this. I can indent programatically if I have to (I think) but I really don't want to. Input/editing of text for the basics is easy enough. I would like to add the concept of class (like CSS class, I'd have called them 'styles' but that's already used in runrev) to the editors. If there is any visual feedback it would be minimal (maybe font or colour change). Can I do this somehow? Do chunks have custom properties? There are *two* kinds of class that are of interest: paragraph and character. I can probably use something like the group properties for character classes, but what about paragraphs? Can a single chunk be a part of more than one group? So. I guess to summarise: 1) Is there a text editor out there that I can use? 2) Can I indent paragraphs? 3) What can/can't I do with images in text? 4) Can I assign custom properties/custom styles/custom something to chunks to represent two pieces of additional information? I am completely open to suggestions (I know I've blurred requirements and a solution in this email, all I'm committed to is the requirement).
