Re: Why does 4D have uppercase UUIDs?

Re: 4D Write Pro CSS

Hello, if the question is "which experimental CSS is supported in 4D Write Pro?", then I think you might be asking the wrong question. quote: "4D specific tags" means 4D XHTML with a 4D namespace and 4D CSS styles. http://doc.4d.com/4Dv16/4D/16/WP-EXPORT-DOCUMENT.301-3048103.en.html in other wor

Re: 4D Write Pro CSS

Hmmm. That doesn't appear to be a very comprehensive list. I did a quick test - created a 4D Write Pro document with an experimental Stylesheet and exported it as HTML. It included a CSS section, as expected, with this style definition: li.experimental-style { text-align:right;text-ind

Preventing On Start Up from Running

Why does 4D have uppercase UUIDs?

I was looking up something else yesterday and came across some comments and directions regarding UUIDs and saying that they should always be lowercase. But this isn't a hard rule, apparently. And 4D prefers to uppercase them - which I find harder to read. Just curious what that's about and if ther

Question about synching Resources folder from 4D Server

I'm having a hard time getting this to work. I have the server setting "Update Resources folder during a session" set to Always. I set the database parameter of the Clients to automatically sync. I do this on startup so I know it's set. And I know there's a 2 minute lag between when a change is ma
