I think the way to approach that would be to make a Laszlo app with a
few <html> tags dropped in to do the very formatted character display
and the CSS styling. The text formatting controls in OpenLaszlo are
limited by the support in swf7, which are inherently buggy. In
particular, I don't think the flash formatting model supports small
caps at all, and tooltips would be a big pain.

Hello,
We are analyzing if OpenLaszlo is the right framework for our web
application (online dictionary). We are almost convinced but we
want to have your advices on these particular points :
This is what we need...
- Essentially, we must display very complex and structured texts.
- The text is organized in paragraphs.
- Each paragraph is composed of many group of words.
- Each group of words can use a specific font, color, size and style.
- Some group of words must use small caps style.
- Ideally, the style would be in CSS file.
- We must use unicode characters. (∎, ●, ▷, etc.)
- We must use fine-space, non breaking space, non breaking hyphen,
etc.
- Some group of words must be a link or able to trigger events.
- Some group of words must have tooltip.
Do you think it's possible to do that with OpenLaszlo or we are
better to stay in HTML.
Thanks for your advices.
Dominic
