One thing I notice reading the Rev docs is they offer HTML and for
some
reason Rev left out full justification with HTML. Am I right
that HTML has the ability to do full justification. If so Rev
purposely
left it out so it made me not want to look into solving the
problem with HTML.
It's not so much a case of Rev leaving anything out as it is an
unfortunate choice of terms. What Rev calls its "htmlText"
property could probably be better called "sgmltext", since it
simply uses the same SGML conventions that HTML uses, but for a
different purpose:
HtmlText was designed to provide an ASCII representation of all
aspects of a field's contents. At runtime text attributes are of
course stored in a binary format, but one can use the htmlText to
reproduce a field's content with complete fidelity without needing
to much with the binary representation. Additionally, since it's
just ASCII, one can use Rev's handy text handling to easily
manipulate htmlText data to alter the contents of a field raidly.
But Rev's htmlText property wasn't designed to support the fulle
HTML spec. For the tables alone I wish it did, and perhaps one day
it will, but historically that property is designed solely to
support an ASCII representation of Rev's field text attributes.
