Re: Styling paragraphs/lines?
Indeed, all you need is ASCII 11 and no overlays or anything else.

Re: Styling paragraphs/lines?
Why do quite a few things that might have been expected to be fundamental to LiveCode come down to awkward kludges or work-arounds?

Re: Styling paragraphs/lines?
I am naturally lazy, so I always look for the simplest and easiest way to do things: of course these ways are not always the best.

Of course you could use both methods in different situations.

Re: Bad Document Id
Looks all a bit decontextualised really.
A bit more explanation might make things easier.

Re: Styling paragraphs/lines?
One of the things that interests me as an English teacher is what, in LiveCode constitutes a paragraph. In English a paragraph can be represented in 2 distinct ways: 1. Each new paragraph is represented by a carriage return and an indentation (Tab key). 2 Each new paragraph is represented by a doubl...

Re: Styling paragraphs/lines?
Doesn't that mean that your border will go round all the text, not just the paragraphs you want?But we have to replace all CRs typed/pasted by users, and it add complexity.

Re: Styling paragraphs/lines?
Personally, after Zak's OP, I am not 'wedded', but I am 'in a relationship', as it does seem a good thing, if it is at all possible.Are you wedded to using the border-whatevers?

Re: Styling paragraphs/lines?
I tried lines and it is seemingly NOT possible to put a border round selected lines. It is, however, possible to set the backGroundColor to a set of selected lines. You can do this: - SShot 2024-04-12 at 15.28.58.png - on mouseUp set the backGroundColor of paragraph 2 to 5 of field "ff" to "green" e...

Re: Styling paragraphs/lines?
Sacre m . . . : I even tried this:
and got exactly the same thing.
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
select paragraph 2 to 4 of fld "ff"
set the bordercolor of the selectedChunk to "green"
set the borderwidth of the selectedChunk to 3
end mouseUp
