Hi Frank,
Thanks for the suggestion. This sounds like a workaround which may be
useful for a power-user, but a bit complicated for a novice user,
especially when you consider how complicated the editor is currently for a
newcomer. Ideally, that comma would only fall within the span tag for the
group which creates the delimiter, and not withing a child of the group. If
possible, it would be nice to fix the root cause of the problem and get the
span tags working at a character level, although I know you've said this is
very difficult.
Regards,
Steve
PS: I haven't updated the site in a while but progress is going well, I've
got an updated tree view working now allows you to expand <text
macro="..."> nodes to allow viewing and editing the macro definition within
it. Hopefully this will allow novices to navigate the style structure and
make some edits without understanding macros, and if they do attempt to
edit one then we can prompt to check whether they want the edit to affect
all instances. I'll probably push an update to the site by the end of next
week.
