(First mail was truncated, so here I go again)
I am doing lots of work with 4D Write and really like it. Now I am trying to take my first babysteps with 4D WritePro (V16.1). Unfortunately I am falling down at each little step so far and need a grown-up to help me before I start crying really loud. What I did a lot in 4D Write is to create documents/reports/etc. in methods, e.g.: $lArea:=WR_InitArea WR SET FONT ($lArea;"Lucida Grande") WR SET TEXT PROPERTY ($lArea;wr font size;14) WR INSERT TEXT ($lArea;"Title\r\r") WR SET TEXT PROPERTY ($lArea;wr font size;12) WR INSERT TEXT ($lArea;"Some plain text") WR SET TEXT PROPERTY ($lArea;wr bold;1) WR INSERT TEXT ($lArea;"Some bold text") WR SET TEXT PROPERTY ($lArea;wr bold;0) WR INSERT TEXT ($lArea;"Some more plain text") First try in WritePro: $oArea:=WP New ST SET TEXT($oArea;"<SPAN STYLE='font-weight: bold'>Line 1\r</SPAN>";ST End text) ST SET PLAIN TEXT($oArea;"Line 2";ST End text) I would expect that gets me a document with "Line 1" in bold and "Line 2" in plain. What it actually does is giving me 2 bold lines. What am I doing wrong? text-decoration: underline is not working at all. Next question: How do I set up a default font size and style? Or do I really have to tell WP all those information with every SET TEXT command? That seems overly complicated. I read through the sparse documentation for hours but that confuses me more than it helps. Thanks for any hints.
