Hello all,
Someone wants to step over to MetaCard from Delphi, but he wants to be sure
that one thing is possible in MetaCard before that.
He wants to have a text field in which you can 'insert' pictures and movies,
and move and scale them freely through space. A workaround is legal.
In a perfect world, MetaCard fields would accept 'real' HTML, but
unfortunately they don't. So, I thought of this workaround:
To have a hidden field which contains the whole text, and make other
fields over which I spread the text like this: (set your font to a
mono-spaced one, like Courier)
------------------------¬
| Field 1 |
| |
------------------------¬
| Image 1 | Field 2 |
| | |
| |-----------¬
| | Image 2 |
------------------------¬
| Field 3 | I | F |
| | 3 | 4 |
-------------------------
This is everything but a neat solution, and it will stay to have some
bugs, and will be very difficult to program, but maybe doable.
Does anyone else have an other solution (workaround, external) for this?
Are there other with the same problem so that we can share the solution and/
or the work?
Regards and thank for any help in advance,
Sjoerd
