Please don't cry, Bernd :) I think you have slightly misunderstood ST SET PLAIN TEXT. In this context PLAIN TEXT means *unformatted*, rather than *unstyled*. In other words, ST SET PLAIN TEXT inserts text into whatever styling is already in place. So to remove the bold, you would need to change the style.
I would liken it to using Style Sheets in a regular word processing program. You've applied a style to some text, and then you've added more text without changing the style. I am still trying to get my head around the way 4D Write Pro handles text styling. Take a look at Bookmarks http://doc.4d.com/4Dv16/4D/16/Accessing-document-contents-by-programming.300-3051923.en.html and Attributes http://doc.4d.com/4Dv16/4D/16/WP-SET-ATTRIBUTES.301-3048101.en.html HTH Pat On 29 May 2017 at 16:18, Bernd Fröhlich via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > (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. > > Greetings from Germany, > Bernd Fröhlich > ********************************************************************** > 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) > FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html > Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html > Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech > Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com > ********************************************************************** -- ************************************************* CatBase - The Database Publishing Solution tel: +44 (0) 207 118 7889 w: http://www.catbase.com skype: pat.bensky ************************************************* ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **********************************************************************
