What do you think Daniel ? i disagree. we should do markup by default in most places where text is to be displayed. not only do the back-ends already do it (textblock) it's convenient for just adding some bold or underlined text but also allows us to trivially extend. add another method to get/set plain utf8. markup in general is more useful. > Best, > Cedric > > > On Sun, 18 Jun 2017 at 22:39, Kai Huuhko <kai.huu...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> 2017-06-19 0:11 GMT+03:00 Andrew Williams <a...@andywilliams.me>: > >> > Marking up an input field is not the most common use-case - and is surely > >> > inputted by the app rather than the user normally? > >> > > >> > I propose that ...text_get should return stripped markup and a new method > >> > markup_text_get returns the current stuff.
