Jios uses Apple's new(ish) WKWebView in the Info scene to display NuVoc. https://www.hackingwithswift.com/articles/112/the-ultimate-guide-to-wkwebview It replaces UIWebView (deprecated) as was used in the old j701 app. See: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/replacing_uiwebview_in_your_app -which makes for depressing reading. WKWebView is a Swiss Army knife for rendering html in any context, or displaying webby formats like SVG or PDF. Once it looked to me like a dream object: capable of any graphic effect jios users could wish for. Now I see it as a Swiss Navy marlinspike. It has an excuse for refusing to do whatever the user wants – all in the name of security. FYI… the jios Edit scene uses (by default) the default jqt color scheme. But you can make it use the NuVoc color scheme: SYNTAX_COLOR_SCHEME_i_ =: 2 NB. colors scraped from NuVoc portal or: SYNTAX_COLOR_SCHEME_i_ =: 3 NB. nearest system colors I prefer the jqt scheme myself: SYNTAX_COLOR_SCHEME_i_ =: 1 because with the NuVoc schemes the noun/control/string colours are too close for me. But newcomers to J may find them useful.
