Yes. But you need to write two *very* *simple* commands in Java[tm]. http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/dev/command.html Command #1: selectColor (optional parameter: a color in CSS syntax; returns a color in CSS syntax) basically displays the standard Swing JColorChooser. Command #2: selectFont (optional parameter: a font in CSS syntax; returns a font in CSS syntax) basically displays our own com.xmlmind.xmledit.guiutil.FontChooserDialog (there is no standard Swing JFontChooser). See attachment. Now that you have written these two commands, you can use them to create really useful macros. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
