Re: Creating links

[Terry Judd]

Hi Terry,

This may sound too obvious, but in the menu "Text" you
can choose the item "Link" to set the style of the
selected chunk.

Yep - I was doing that. It was setting the linkText that was giving me trouble (it'd be nice to be able to do this through a dialog).

Thanks,

Terry...

Either that, or you'll have to add a small button with
the property 'traversalOn' set to false so the
selection doesn't change, with script:

  on mouseUp
    if the selectedChunk is empty then exit mouseUp
    put the textStyle of the selectedChunk into tStyle
    switch
    case tStyle is "plain" or tStyle is empty
      set the textStyle of the selectedChunk to "link"
      break
    case "link" is not among the items of tStyle
      set the textStyle of the selectedChunk to \
        (tStyle & comma & "link")
      break
    end switch
  end mouseUp

That should take care of the situations where there's
no selection or the entire selection already has a
style of its own -- you'll have a bit more work to do
if you want to prserve the style of a chunk within the
selectedChunk.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
