It Works! (Somewhat)
Some features here:
- Most common tags like:
- bold
- italic
- underline
- BR, P
line breaks
- FONT tag support, controlling:
- font
styles
- font sizes
- font colors
- Clickable links tell you the URL and clickText -->
try me!
- Controlling background, text, & link colors
- Different kinds of lists...
- Ordered:
- item 1
- item 2
- Unordered:
- Descriptive:
- item 1
- description of item 1
- item 2
- Viewing image alt tags, with link to the image source:
- PRE tags:
some formatted text
- Converting special characters: ©, ¥, ¢
Possible Future Enhancements:
- Going back from styled text to HTML.
- Rendering on the fly, so that for instance you can start
rendering a web page before you've downloaded the entire HTML file.
- Mucho speed improvements
- Change to canvas instead of editfield, to support inline images, for instance.
- CENTER, align=RIGHT support
- Better error handling, & make it easier to check syntax
- This is REALbasic, so somehow support for HTML forms using REALbasic's
own controls should be possible.
Some webpages...
Now edit the HTML in the editfield above or import another HTML file
to try out!
