In your first post I thought I read you have the same plan. Maybe just
wishful thinking.

Got it.

When googling, it seems like the Cuis-StyledTextEditor (
https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/StyledTextEditor) is the latest attempt,
but it is not Pharo.

As I understand it, it is the plan to get gtk and pharo to work together
somehow. Does gtk have a widget that allow for rich text wysiwyg? Its
underlying text model seems to be similar to smalltalk (attributes).

At the moment I am less interested in (developing) a wysiwyg editor. Also I
am not going to try and make a *full* pillar renderer (I am not a pillar
fan).

As Julien wrote, class comments (and perhaps even regular comments)
rendered in rich-text based on markup is my first goal.

I am still picking up Pharo and all it tooling, so it is slow progress atm.

Btw, in the comments for Rubric a project named TxText is mentioned. I
presume it is either integrated into the system and has lost its name, or
it stalled?

Hi Norbert, Kasper,

I, for one, am /*very*/ interested in being able to edit Pillar documents in
a wysiwyg fashion.  And of course I then want to write out such a document
as a text file with Pillar markup, so that I can commit that document to a
Booklet repo, to be compiled into a PDF.

I was looking for a way to view a Pillar markup text file, as an aid to
composing/proofreading.  There is a plugin for Atom, but it appears to be so
old (and unmaintained) that it no longer renders correctly in the latest
versions of Atom.  So I have been making due with using Markdown preview,
but it's far from ideal.

You have something like this started?  Need help?  And if anyone else has a
suggestion..?

-Ted

[Pharo-users] Script to download specific Pharo version

[BrunoBB]

Hi,

We have a Linux script to build our image and was working well until
recently. 
It seems that the failure is related (not confirmed yet) to
https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/issues/4764

Becuase it fail to load Seaside into the Pharo image.

Is there any way to download a specific build or version like ?
wget -q -O- https://get.pharo.org/64/703 | bash

In this case to download Pharo 7.03

We want to try our script with different Pharo versions, because "wget -O-
https://get.pharo.org/64 | bash" it download the latest.

regards,
bruno

Well, I‘m in a constant fight with Esteban about it  I started to use Rubric 
as text editing component. With this I started to add text attributes for 
wysiwyg editing. In a basic attempt I wrote a converter from text attributes to 
pillar markup. The text with pillar markup is stored in my model and the pillar

Yes, I only go from pillar to Text (not just String).

Do you have plans to go from text to pillar as well?

Your question confuses me :-)

   - What would be the source of an already formatted Text?
   - Is there a “rich text editor”? I did not know there was one?

Nice work Kasper!

I can’t wait to have a tab with rendered pillar when browsing class comment. :-)

Out of the table thinking :-)

So by putting a table on the outside, I can make the normal paragraphs
individual rows of one column?

To make an actual table, it would be some rows with more columns than one?

Do the tables morphs allow for merged  cells?

I will look into it, but I am not too optimistic that I will be able to get
anything that looks nice.

Hi Kasper, some intuition from my part for this.
What if instead of putting tables into text you put text into tables ;).
In other words, think both text and tables as renderable elements (cof cof
morphs).

Rendering the Pillar markup inside the Pharo image

This is work in (early) progress, but I think it is far enough for a
"technology preview".
Goal
of the project

The goal of the project is to be able to do better in-image documentation.
To do this, I am working on several fronts:

   1. Rendering more pillar, expecially I would like to get a solution for
   tables.
   2. Rendering github markdown in addition to pillar markdown. This will
   allow me to pull markdown from git and display it in-image.
   3. Giving the "help-system" some love.
   4. In-image tools for writing markdown - a markdown editor
   5. A design for keeping the mark-down texts seamlessly outside of the
   image

Reg. 1., I can only figure out how to transform a morphic table into an
image, and then add that image to the text (not included atm as I find it
so ugly a solution). Any other ideas are greatly appreciated.

Reg. 2. I am nearly done on this one, at least for the easy aspects
(headers, lists, emphasis, code-blocks).

Reg 3 and 4. Only loose ideas atm.
Trying
it out

Load it using Metacello:

Metacello new
   baseline: 'PillarRichTextRender';
   repository: 'github://kasperosterbye/PillarRichTextRender';
   load.

At the moment it will load the whole of Pillar, but I hope to fix that soon.

Once loaded, the class PRRichTextComposer has some examples on the class
side.
