I found this Paragraph Property because of Peter Haworth's LCStackBrowser Plugin. I have had problems using LCStackBrowser as of late - since version 8x.x. I think the problem actually stems from the Behavior Scripts in LCStackBrowser and conflicts with the AutoComplete behaviors - I'm not sure just speculating. I think that Peter has been frustrated getting Support to help solve the problems. I was hoping the Navigator was able to show the "Paragraph" properties, but no. Peter, if your listening: I have a work around for using LCStackBrowser- I don't auto load the plugin. I load other plugins next -actually I auto load Navigator. Then I load LCStackBrowser. Why do I do it? : I find that Geoff Canyon's Navigator to be an excellent tool. But there are things that LCStackBrowser does also. I like the idea of being able to save versions of the application you are building via LCStackBrowser among several other features. I would like to see a conglomeration of the two plugins (hint hint). I am exhausted now!

AFAIK all xTalks have supported styled text. It may be that HC 1.0 only provided that for the whole field (I can't recall), but if so it wasn't long before it joined the other xTalks in allowing us to assign style attributes like textFont, textSize, and textStyle using chunk expressions so we can apply them to lines, words, and characters. Paragraph-level formatting opens up wholly new opportunities, beyond any xTalk I've ever seen. I'm not sure if this info has been incorporated into the docs system yet, but the Release Notes for v5.5 offer a solid overview of the new field features (starting on p12), most of which are paragraph-level properties like indent, border, padding, etc. (p19), along with the wonderfully efficient styledText array representation of field contents ([p16) and super-useful indented lists a la HTML and word processors (p18): https://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/5_5_4/LiveCodeNotes-5_5_4.pdf With these features you can add very satisfying word processing features to your desktop apps. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ____________________________________________________________________ ambassa...@fourthworld.com http://www.FourthWorld.com _______________________________________________ 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
