Folks, I recently added bug 15599 which reads as:
----------------------- Create a New Stack Place a Scrolling Field (7.0.6) or Text Area (8.0 dp2) on it and enlarge it to fill the stack. In the Message Box enter: set the textFont of fld 1 to "Arial" --must use a font with italics set the fixedLineHeight of fld 1 to false repeat with x = 1 to 6 put "<H" & x & ">" into tHead put "</H" & x & ">" into tTail set the htmlText of line x of fld 1 to tHead & "This is Heading " & x & tTail end repeat put the htmlText of fld 1 You'll note that in the field only Heading 5 is in italics and if you check the HTMLText output Heading 5 is the only one to include the <i></i> tags. When converting <H5> to LCs <p><b><font size... equivalent, the <i></i> tags should not be included. ----------------------- As usual the mothership responded swiftly but slightly differently than expected. Mark indicated that <H5> has always converted to italics and so has closed the report. No I don't know if 'always' means always for Revolution, always back to MetaCard, always back to HyperCard or always for xTalk languages. So I'm just wondering if anyone here would know the history about this and why only <H5> has been singled out to appear differently in LC than it does in a Browser. I assume changing it now would have consequences for some people's legacy code. I added a comment that maybe the Dictionary needs to highlight this anomaly. If you consider <H5> in LC should look like <H5> in a Browser then you may wish to add comments to 15599. For me, I just need to write a little handler for <H5> that will go back and remove the <i></i> tags so that my LC field is identical to the Browser equivalent. Not a hard thing to do in LC ;-) _______________________________________________ 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
