Hi Eric,
Thanks - playing with your Encoded Text Picker gave me a fresh sense of
what to look at.. the actual characters for the Russian were OK (they
are 'entities' encoded by Rev in a separate part of the project), but I
had forgotten to provide font tags as well. Adding "<font face" &
q(Arial) & ">" before the item, and "</font>" after the item, now has
the English displayed properly, even after some Russian.
(Just in case there's anyone here newer than I am: the q(Arial) is a
function, which I've put in the stack script, that's a shortcut to
putting quotes around a string - makes expressions like these less
messy; I'd seen it in Sarah Reichelt's XML tutorial and found it handy
for things like this.)
What was curious (& confusing) is that the source text file, created by
Rev from fields using 'put the HTMLText of field "myField"', has these
language-specific tags (<font face="Geneva CY" lang="ru") before the
Russian elements, but no such tags before the English. When I read the
information back in from the text file to display in a field, it seems
to work even with no language-specific tags for the Russian, but it
does need them for displaying English that follows Russian. Anyway, it
all looks good now. Thanks!
best,
Curt
Hi Curt,
Before struggling with unicode, you have to build right html first:
You set the htmlText of your field to a string which is not html but
in fact usual text.
For instance, tab in html is "	" and "tab" in html is only a text
string...
In order to understand how translation can be made between html and
usual text, you might be interested by downloading my Encoded Text
Picker free plugin from my web-site (address below).
It will allow you to translate any text from and to html
automatically and then understand how to build your code properly :-)
Take heart!
Best Regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.
