thx for your quick reply, I didn't see/found this function but now its clear. So my modification is not necessary.
There is no documentation for the availible functions and attributes. Will there be one or is this Component still in "development" so it makes no sense now?
I was wondering that the component is in a folder called "extensions", is their anything special about this extension-directory or is it just for developing purpose?

Hi, Sebastian.
The method you wrote below is essentially
richinputtext.applyTextAttr. I think if you use applyTextAttr, you
won't need to make changes to toggleFormat.
The toggleFormat function is meant as a convenience to support the
standard bold, italic, underline buttons, which are usually toggle
buttons. All they do is toggle a named attribute (which must be bold,
italic, or underline) from true to false or false to true. This saves
a step for the UI developer; he does not have to first *get* the
format, toggle the value, then *set* the format.
The idea is that the bold button can call toggleFormat("bold"...)
when the bold toggle button is pressed; the italic button can call
toggleFormat("italic"...) when the italic button is pressed, and the
underline button can call toggleFormat("underline"...) when the
underline format is pressed. This is a special case of the more
general function applyTextAttr.
An example of toggleFormat is in the first window in the example at
http://www.laszlosystems.com/lps-3.1.1/docs/guide/richtext.html
and an example of applyTextAttr is in the third window in that example.
John Sundman (the doc guy) and I have plans to improve the
richinputtext doc in the next month or so.
