HTML representation of 'less than or equal to' - not cross-platform?
I’ve got a little field with a single “less than or equal to” character in it. The character got there from executing set the htmlText of fld “myField” to ple;/p from the message box while programming in the IDE (LC 6.6.5) This works fine on a Mac, but I just noticed that it doesn’t work on a PC. When I open the card containing this field in LC on a PC running Windows 7, and execute this from the message box put the htmlText of fld “myField” I get p#16;/p which does not display as a less than or equal glyph. If I reset the contents of the field using ple;/p, it displays correctly. Anyone any idea what's going on? How did 'le;' get changed to '16;'? Seems totally weird to me. TIA for any suggestions.

Re: HTML representation of 'less than or equal to' - not cross-platform?
Thanks Mark for the reply. No, ‘lt' is less than and ‘gt' is greater than: these symbols are readily available on both the Mac and PC character sets, so if the objective is simply to display the correct glyph, it doesn’t matter if one shows them as html or just a simple character. My issue is with 'less than or equal' (and in principle ‘greater than or equal’). These are represented on the regular Mac keyboard as option-comma and option-period, but these codes are not the same on the PC. Hence my need to use html, since these characters are part of the standard html repertoire. A possible (but not very probably IMHO) cause of the problem is that ‘le’ and ‘ge’ are not in the LC dictionary as recognised subset-html characters dealt with by LC: but in fact they do work, just not when switched from Mac to PC.

Re: HTML representation of 'less than or equal to' - not cross-platform?
Hi Graham, Apparently, I misread the subject header of your e-mail. So, you have trouble with the less-than-or-equal-to and the greater-than-or-equal-to characters. BTW I think that these characters are in the MacRoman character set but not in the Latin-1 character set, which means that you can refer to them by their ASCII values on Mac, but not on Windows. I just tried this on Windows 8.1: on mouseUp set the htmlText of fld 1 to pge;/p end mouseUp and it works fine. I can also change ge to le and that works too. If I execute put the htmltext of fld 1 in the message box, I get the expected values and not the numerical values you are seeing. I tried this in LC 6.6.2 on Windows 8.1. Perhaps it is a 6.6.5-specific bug. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Installer Maker for LiveCode: http://qery.us/468 Buy my new book Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner http://qery.us/3fi LiveCode on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/runrev/ On 10/31/2014 18:01, Graham Samuel wrote: Thanks Mark for the reply.

Re: HTML representation of 'less than or equal to' - not cross-platform?
Hi Mark Not to flog this to death, but what you did works for me too - you just set the htmlText of a field using a version of LC running on Windows. What didn’t work for me was setting the htmlText of the field using a Mac version of LC, saving the stack and then opening it on a PC with a PC version of LC - then the field had somehow changed. I will see if this applies in other versions of LC. What I did is repeatable but of course it may be something to do with my particular setup or versions of LC.

Re: HTML representation of 'less than or equal to' - not cross-platform?
Hi Graham, Now I see it too. Even if I set the unicodeText of a field to numToChar(8804), the character appears as something completely different on Windows. In pre-7 versions of LiveCode, this might be acceptable, because the text of a field is saved as MacRoman or Latin. However, in 7, it is saved as unicode. I didn't try this, but this should not happen in 7. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Installer Maker for LiveCode: http://qery.us/468 Buy my new book Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner http://qery.us/3fi LiveCode on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/runrev/ On 10/31/2014 19:04, Graham Samuel wrote: Hi Mark Not to flog this to death, but what you did works for me too - you just set the htmlText of a field using a version of LC running on Windows.

Sure, but if you have to correct a field using isoToMac and macToIso every time your stack opens, you might as well just replace the ASCII 16 value with le; in the HTML text of the field.

Paul, This won't work because isoToMac/macToIso convert from MacRoman to Latin-1 or back, while Latin-1 simply doesn't have that char.

Re: HTML representation of 'less than or equal to' - not cross-platform?
Okay, so to follow through with this, I first took a screen shot of a bullet character, opened it in Preview, erased the white space (making it transparent) and saving it as bullet.png. Next I imported the bullet as an image, and set the source of the imported image to the file “bullet.png” (so I could edit it and see the changes in Livecode without reimporting). Then I put several lines into a scrolling field where each line starts with a space and a tab. I set the first tabstop to enough pixels to fit the bullet mark. I had to play around a bit but I got it close. Finally I have this in the script of the scrolling field: on mouseUp put the hilitedLine of me into theHilitedLine set the itemDelimiter to tab put the vscroll of me into theVScroll if the imageSource of char 1 of line theHilitedLine of me is bullet.png then set the imageSource of char 1 of line theHilitedLine of me to empty else set the imageSource of char 1 of line theHilitedLine of me to bullet.png end if set the itemDelimiter to comma set the vScroll of me to theVScroll end mouseUp Presto! Voila! Good looking bulleted list that will look the same in Windows and Mac, or any OS! Bob S On Oct 31, 2014, at 14:01 , Bob Sneidar bobsnei...@iotecdigital.com wrote: Cool thanks!

Re: HTML representation of 'less than or equal to' - not cross-platform?
I think I have just confirmed Mark’s conjecture about LC7 - I created a test stack on the Mac in LC7, put the html ‘less than or equal to’ character into a field there, saved it, reopened in LC7 and it still looked OK. So we can leave that particular problem behind us, at least once I’ve double-checked that it was a fair test. My next problem will be to make sure any special treatment that I gave to the Mac-only characters (Mac Roman) like the pi symbol (which will still be there on the keyboard in spite of Unicode being recognised by LC) doesn’t adversely affect the PC version of the program. But it’s bedtime here and I strongly suspect I’ve stopped thinking straight. Tomorrow…(sings).

I think Graham's point is that this shouldn't be necessary and I believe in 7 it should indeed no longer be necessary. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Installer Maker for LiveCode: http://qery.us/468 Buy my new book Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner http://qery.us/3fi LiveCode on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/runrev/ On 10/31/2014 20:03, J.

What didn’t work for me was setting the htmlText of the field using a Mac version of LC, saving the stack and then opening it on a PC with a PC version of LC - then the field had somehow changed. I will see if this applies in other versions of LC. What I did is repeatable but of course it may be something to do with my particular setup or versions of LC. That's what MacToISO and ISOtoMac were for. I'm not sure they still apply in LC 7.0 though. But if you're running in 6.x you'll probably need to use macToISO() on the text if the platform is a Windows machine. Or, you could try storing the HTML as a custom property and re-setting the htmlText on Windows; maybe that will map it correctly. That said, if those particular characters aren't in the Windows character set then I don't think anything will work to display them. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
