Oh yes.  You made that requirement clear.

You can read and write to LC object properties in a faceless 
command-line environment like CGI just as you can in a GUI.  The only 
difference of course is that you won't be able to see anything. :)



If you missed it, you may enjoy this tip: many versions ago (<7?) the 
team added graphics export support.  That's right: it will render a card 
into an internal buffer, and you can then export the card, or any object 
on the card, to any of the export formats LC supports (PNG, JPEG, GIF, 
etc.).


The simplest application for this might be a custom postcard generator, 
but I've used it for medical procedure diagrams.


The ability to generate custom graphics on the fly based on input coming 
from the user's browser is super-cool, and AFAIK has not been widely 
used in our community.

Yes - sorry about that - copy and paste from Script Editor to Chrome now
seems to bring across all the formatting - I'll get rid of it next time.

Richard - thanks for the tip regarding using the template field - I was
wondering if that would work on the server (see my latest post) - I think
it's a direction I should go into as why code it when the engine can do it
for you :)

Hi,

is there a reason for all the * in the script?

Makes it difficult  to read and uneeded work to get it correct in the SE.

You can use a stack with a field in it for converting to htmlText, or 
run the html through the templateField.

Hi Devin, yes that would work for an app - but this is for Livecode server
- I'm not sure but is there a way to do that with revIgniter - ie create a
field by script and use the functionality that way - this is the old hack
I'm using / found - if anyone finds it useful / can improve on it ( i
should probably use arrays):

David, I assume you mean you want to render the named entity as the proper 
glyph? The way to do that is with the htmlText property.

  set the htmlText of fld “foo” to “The book costs 30."
