I suspect that it's going to be something Richmond is trying to generalise for multiple alphabets. sort international might work for many situations but it uses the system locale I dare say his system locale is set for a western alphabet, but given that he works with a variety of other writing syste...

Should this work? sort lines of test by customSort(richmondsOrder,each) The problem is apparently, that richmondsOrder might prove a bit awkward as I am not convinced that: put numToCodePoint(2296) & numToCodePoint(2297) & numToCodePoint(2298) into richmondsOrder is going to "sit nicely". That inde...

It may be as simple as "sort international" but I that is a hope, rather than expectation.

I am sorry, I have not had a chance to do that just yet. Well if and when you do, I can try to help through any obstructions. There's quite a lot to rtf specifications but quite a lot of it does make sense, as I am beginning to remember, having dusted off a very ancient report writer I wrote once. ...

So how did you get on with a correctly unzipped/correct format?

I think one of the (many) problems with AI is that it lacks the capacity to be impressed. The bystanders and spectators can be impressed though.

But all his posts are still here. Unfortunately there is a huge amount redacted from here and as much or more missing from his hosted collections / no longer hosted :( A great loss, personally and productively. The saddest is the personal loss. I remember a few private conversations. A fine gentlem...

Sounds like the site of interest is dynamically creating/changing content. This is happening all over the internet, making it tricky to use a static interface within LC to manage/manipulate the content. Hermann (sadly no longer with us) here has some amazing stacks that leverage javascript within LC...

I can only guess that you need to *extract* the zipped stack before trying to run it within the zip file.
It's only zipped because the forum doesn't allow upload of files of .livecode type, go figure.

What tool are you using to view rtf files?

Can you make a template rtf file and attach it so I can tell if there's anything strange between Mac/Linux format and Windows?

This is the output file generated, which will (unless altered in the script) be placed in the documents folder.
Delete all the guff after the .rtf filetype extension

I already imported a placeholder stack. That was commented out until you want to go and find any template you might have made. As it stands without any alteration the stack uploaded should use the basic template imported already and put the text of the header field into the rtf document header, the ...

Did you try the stack I posted with the rtfText template? It has a basic template included. As long as you aren't doing extensive text colorization [sic] it should be simple to output what you want. Even if you are, it could be worth delving deeper into rtf anatomy to make that possible too, which I...
