The line that needs fixing is:

 How do I get a "return" and end of field into this--between the quote
 pair?


put " ,." & return into endingChars
repeat until (char tNum+1+j of field 1 is in endingChars) \
            or (char tNum+1+j of field 1 is empty)

Or something like that?

Thanks Dar. That is perfect! So simple.

Thanks for posting the application, but it didn't seem to work on my
PowerBook with RR-2 and led to repeated force-quits even when I made a
build, I am not sure what is wrong at this point.

What I have found so far with messing is that to create the electron
configurations I would need to code something like this:

[Ne]2<i>s</i><small><sup> 2</sup></small> 2<i>p</i><small><sup>
2</sup></small> and so on,

The space before the 2 in "<sup> 2</sup>" is needed to prevent the
italicized "s" from interfering with the superscripted number. I then
write it in to the field as described in the dictionary using the set
htmltext command. It looks great, but I will probably need a large
bottle of something if I have to code 100 elements in this manner. It
can be done with a lot of copying and pasting, but the scope for error
is huge. The interesting thing is that once you have been through one
period, then it is just a matter of duplicating the period and
adjusting the numbers:

[Ar]3<i>s</i><small><sup> 2</sup></small> 3<i>p</i><small><sup>
2</sup></small> and so on,


I might try and adapt Jim's scripts, but it would take me longer than
just coding them by hand, even though it would be a good learning
exercise. What I think the script needs to do is:

Paul,

I'm really sorry about your crashes. I can't imagine what the problem is. I haven't tested this script thoroughly. I too am using a PowerBook (G4 OS 9.2) and have found RR 2.0 quite stable.

I have modified the stack just a bit, incorporating Dar Scott's very helpful suggestion.

(http://home.infostations.net/jhurley/ )

It also now includes a field which shows the HTML text. For example for the text as written:

From the Pythagorean theorem we know that x^2 + y^2 = z^2.
The coordinate axes are x~1, x~2 and  x~3.
z^123 z~124
x^1~2.
x^34 + x^2.

This translated to the following HTML output and is shown in a second field:

From the Pythagorean theorem we know that x 2 + y2 = z2. The coordinate axes are x1, x2 and x3. z123 z124 x12. x34 + x2.

And of course you also get the formatted product in a third field which I can't show here.

To get the space before the super 2 in x^2 you would simply type x ^2.

Let me know how this new version works. Perhaps you could use this or some modification thereof to deal with the bulk of the HTML super and subscripting and then tweak the resulting HTML text. As you can see, it would save a lot of laborious typing.

Jim
