- 1. About LightWayText
-
- LightWayText is a powerful Text Editor having lots of nice features !
-
- With LightWayText, you have all the power you expect from a full-featured word processing
- program - writing, editing, printing, and saving the text document in other formats including
- Kanji/PICT/JPEG. We have changed the idea of a 'Writer's Workshop' into a reality.
-
- We are glad if it lets you recall 'Macintosh mind of the early days' - The original Mac's concept
- was to keep it pure and simple and this we have done with LightWayText.
- We sincerely hope LightWayText will serve you well, being a good friend for your Mac...
-
- Here in Japan, LightWayText is a popular text editor. What is amazing about LightWayText
- is its speed, the flexibility and the expansibility. In LightWayText 4, we included all the
- Japanese and English word processor functions, because so many of you asked for this.
- Editing operations are intuitive. There are many ways to change the appearance of your document;
- besides styles, there are decoration lines, the ability to change all paragraph indents or margins,
- to paste in PICT or JPEG images, and to create spreadsheet-like tables. LightWayText 4.1.1
- onwards also supports importing and exporting Rich Text Format files (RTF) and Unicode format
- files (UTF8, UTF16), and LightWayText-X fully complies with Mac OS 10.3 (Panther).
-
- LightWayText can also provide many different layouts. Especially unusual is the Vertical
- Writing format of 'Tategaki' as in Japanese books, the basic Paper of Japanese Manuscript paper
- 'Genkou-Yousi'. With a variety of Custom papers including Notepaper and Greeting card,
- you can start your original pages in your Westerners's style easily, also let LightWayText create
- back-up files automatically. In other words, as you would expect from a 'Writer's Workshop',
- much of your editing can be left entirely to LightWayText.
-
- In addition, LightWayText provides many special menus and macro-functions to stimulate
- the creative mind of a professional. You will increase your efficiency with customized menus
- and keyboard commands. You can also use a spelling checker or a translation program as if it
- were a built-in function. LightWayText even allows you to complex search with the
- 'Regular Expression' or the 'SEd script' in addition to the normal expression's search.
- Besides, there are other useful little goodies to play with, including a scheduler function for
- your day-to-day time management.
-
- You will find that LightWayText is widely used, from programming to the writing of various
- documents, in any language not only English and Japanese...
-
- - LightWayText is aiming to be the No1-shareware program, loved around the world !
- We will be pleased if you Westerners also find LightWayText useful...
-
- (LightWayText is a hybrid, usable with both Macs & PC.
- In addition, they are compatible with each other's documents.)
-
- We are improving LightWayText all the time, using your suggestions...

- ╩
-
-
- New Makes a new document window.
-
- Open... Displays the Open dialog to open any text document.
- The list box also includes the names of any unformatted ASCII text documents
- of Macintosh file type "TEXT". LightWayText 4.1.1 onwards supports
- importing Rich Text Format (RTF) files and Unicode (UTF8,16) files.
- If you select a file made with Windows with accented characters,
- LightWayText identifies these characters and converts them to Mac's
- character codes.
-
- Note: If you intend to import a .rft document or a unicode file, ensure you select
- "All Documents" in the Show dialog of the Open window, so the RTF, UTF8,
- and UTF16 documents will appear.
- LightWayText identifies "Rich Text Format (.rtf)" and "Unicode files
- (UTF8,16)" automatically and opens them.
-
- Rich Text Format (RTF) is a Microsoft word processing document format,
- that encodes Word formatting in plain ASCII codes to allow easy interpretation
- by other programs that read this format. LightWayText opens Rich Text
- Format files so that comparable character and paragraph formatting can be
- interpreted from the other programs.
- Note that, because of differences in each program, some features may not
- be transferable, including outlining levels, styles, tables, color, and
- hidden text format. Remember that, opening a document as a unicode file
- is possible in Mac-OS 8.6 onwards, but unicode's characters require
- OS-X onwards.
-
- Recent Displays a list of recently used text documents.
-
- File Browser... Displays the File Browser Tool, with it you can browse contents
- and preview of Text/PICT/JPEG documents. See 3.1.1. File Browser Tool.
-
- Close Closes the document window.
- Save Saves contents of an open document.
-
- Save As... Displays the Save As dialog to save with another name.
- LightWayText 4.1.1 onwards supports exporting Rich Text Format (RTF)
- files and Unicode (UTF8,16) files.
-
- Note: If you intend to export a .rft document or an unicode file, ensure you have
- selected Rich Text Format (.rtf), Unicode (UTF-16), or
- Unicode (UTF-8) from the Format option in the Save As dialog.
- If you are using an earlier operating system including Mac OS7,
- there is no Format option in the Save As dialog due to OS restrictions.
- If you intend to save your file as a .rft document in the earlier OS, ensure
- you have put '.rtf' as the extension at the end of the file name before you save.
-
- When Rich Text Format (.rtf) is selected, LightWayText saves your
- document as a Rich Text Format file so that comparable character and
- paragraph formatting can be interpreted by other programs.
- Note that, when you save your document as RTF, some features including
- PICT/JPEG pictures, Ruby, Upper lines, Fill Patterns and Colors, Marks,
- and Custom papers are not retained, due to RTF specifications.
- Also, because of differences in each program, some features may not
- be transferable, including outlining levels, styles, tables, color, and
- hidden text format. Unicodes characters can be retained among TextEdit,
- but may not be available for many Windows programs in Rich Text Format
- (RTF) due to Microsoft restrictions.
-
- When Unicode (UTF-16) or Unicode (UTF-8) is selected,
- LightWayText saves your document as a unicode file. These allow you to
- create a plain-text document to serve as your RSS code sheet.
- Note that, when you save your document as a Unicode file, any character
- styles and page layouts are not retained, due to UTF specifications.
- Unicodes characters are compatible with other programs provided they
- support unicodes. Note that saving a document as a unicode file is possible
- in Mac-OS 8.6 onwards, but unicode's characters require OS-X onwards.
- See Unicodes Information in 3.4. Font, Size, Style Menu (Text Menu).
-
- ╩
-
-
- If you intend to save a "LightWayText" document for a PC,
- ensure you have selected .LWT Format and PC in Text Format
- from the Format menu before you save. See 3.5. Format Menu.
-
- If you want to make a document that you will use many times, e.g. a letter,
- you can save it as a Stationery Pad. To save the document as it actually is,
- specify Stationery form Stationery Option in the Get Info dialog,
- after you click on a documents icon on the Finder.
- Opening it starts with the untitled document.
-
- LightWayText-X also allows you to use longer file names (up to 255
- characters on a file), including unicodes.
- Due to Unicode's restrictions, note that files with unicode characters in
- their file names will not be usable with File Browser, File Search,
- or Stream Editor. If you try making the backup files with files having
- unicode file names, the new backup files' names would have some wicked

-
- TSM-Inline (Only in Japanese OS)
- When checked, LightWayText executes the TSM (Text Services Manager)
- Inline Input. When checked in the Japanese OS, LightWayText allows you
- to convert the selected Japanese characters into Kanji.
-
- Auto Indent When checked, LightWayText executes an Automatic Indent of the next line.
- This allows you to keep the first line start position, in addition to the Indent
- set by Paragraph attributes.
- If the start of the line with the curser contains tab codes or spaces,
- LightWayText inserts them onto the next line when you type return.
- To set indents, see 3.5.1. Format Tools, 3.5.1.1. Paragraph Dialog.
-
- Note: If you are using LightWayText after using other word processors,
- this should be unchecked in normal use.
- Programers often find Auto Indent useful.
- Here is an example of what you can do with Auto Indent;
-
- func() {
- if (a == b) {
- a = 1; - see the following explanation
- b = 2;
- c = 3;
- }
- d = 4;
- e = 5;
- }
-
- Explanation;
-
- With Auto Indent checked,
- if you type a return after semicolon (a = 1;),
- LightWayText inserts tab codes onto the next line, and moves
- the curser to the same position as the previous line head.
-
- You can also try the opposite by unchecking the Auto Indent
- in this manual.
- Now when you type a return after semicolon (a = 1;),
- LightWayText moves the curser to just the Indent position.
-
- If you expect LightWayText to use just like a regular word processor,
- Auto Indent should normally be unchecked.
- In that case, you should also uncheck the Auto Indent with the
- Preferences. See 3.2.5.1. General Dialog.

- dotted underlines including misspelled errors. Ensure you have a reason
- for clicking this, especially after using the spell checker.
-
- Also, if you select Check Spelling As You Type or Check All Spelling
- after this, all red dotted underlines on keywords are removed.
- Make sure, you have checked Check Spelling As You Type before
- clicking this, providing if you want to keep checking misspelling after this.
- Only in that case, both occurrences of all keywords and the next misspelling
- will be marked together, with red dotted underlines.
-
- Clear Marker
- Removes all red dotted underlines and clears status of checking.

- If you wish to jump to the next misspelled word, ensure you select
- Check Spelling command or Command ; .
-
- Remember that, the markers under keywords are Not saved when the
- document is closed. All red dotted underlines are cleared, and do not appear
- the next time you open it. Also if you select the keyword and move the cursor
- onto another word, the red dotted underline is cleared, due to restrictions.

- 'SEd' is a non-interactive, or stream-oriented, editor which was developed originally in Unix.
- It interprets a script and performs the actions in the script.
- The LightWayText Stream Editor is an especially helpful function with plain GUI
- which lets several files run multiple scripts like a series of Find/Replace commands
- at the same time. You can easily use the sed program on a Mac.
-
- With this, you can search and replace a number of text files, and also make various writing
- conversion programs, easily even if you do not have much programming experience,
- and revise any kind of text file quickly whether it has character attributes, paragraph
- attributes, lines and the colors etc.. Typical uses of sed include, editing one or more one files
- automatically, and simplifying repetitive edits to multiple files.
-
- Especially, it will be helpful for considerably reducing and simplifying the work of
- proofreading for publishing.
-
- ╩
-
- You may also specify the Find expression (Find String) and the Replace expression
- (Replace String). LightWayText interprets them as a script and performs the actions
- in the script 's/Find/Repl/g' automatically.
-
- Note: LightWayText 4.1.2 onwards removes a limitation for the target,
- and supports '\xhh' and '\xhhhh' for hexadecimal digits in
- SED Regular Expression.
- Allows you to search and make appropriate substitutions in longer
- target lines (more than 3,000 characters in one paragraph).

- 3.5.1.3. What is a Custom Paper
-
- The Custom Paper function in the Format menu allows you to select the size and shape
- of your document. It is just like a foundation of make-up that give your document a unified
- format, which you might use frequently for a quick change of layout and appearance,
- defining a set of dimensions including the paper size, the paragraph attributes,
- the character attributes, and the border lines.
-
- For example, it can be vertical or horizontal, A4 or US Letter, with or without a border etc..
- You can set the positions of the margins, the number of columns, whether to have lines and
- the color they should be. You may specify the type and size of font, and even the line and
- character spacing.
-
- LightWayText has built in some ready-made papers for you to use, or to give you ideas for
- your own papers, and naturally you can modify any of these.
- When you select one, LightWayText displays your document in the format you selected.
- For more details about these papers, see 3.5.1.4. The Ready-Made Papers.
-
- If you wish, you may save a Custom Paper for use another time and give it a special name,
- also, you can add or remove the name in the Paragraph & Paper menu.
- See 3.5.1.3.3. Custom Paper Dialog and 3.5.1.3.4. ADD/Delete Paper Dialog.
-
-
- Note: You might be still not used to the Custom Paper function due to specific idea
- of LightWayText, but you will get it soon. A Custom Paper is a format base
- for the whole document, not a document itself. A Custom Paper does not contain
- text and is not the same as a blank template nor a Stationery Pad.
-
- For example, when you make a letter, it would be useful to check Notepaper.
- If you wish to use a document many times, such as a blank letter with your
- name and address at the top perhaps, it would be more convenient to check
- Notepaper and save it as 'Stationery'.
-
-
- 3.5.1.3.1. The Ready-Made Papers
-
- This explains how to use the Custom Paper and how to change your document's appearance,
- using the built in papers as examples.
-
- We have built into LightWayText various ready-made papers including the Lined Paper and
- the Japanese Manuscript papers. As you would see, these are indicated as the commands in
- the Paragraph & Paper in the Format menu and in the Format Tools.
-
- ╩
-
- When you choose any one, LightWayText displays your document with the Custom Paper
- corresponding to it, and you can do the editing or typing while keeping these conditions.
- When you checked Standard, LightWayText changes the document back to the basic.
-
- You will be able to see how your document changes if you will check each paper.
- Also, it would be good idea to see the Sample documents attached to know the concrete usage
- of these Custom Papers. See the Sample documents in the Sample Document folder.
-
- You can also add others of your choice in addition to the ready-made papers with the
- Custom Paper command. See 3.5.1.3.3. Custom Paper Dialog.

- 5. Regular Expression
-
- When you execute the Find/Replace or the Find File commands, LightWayText allows you
- to search the document with the Regular Expression.
- If you check the Regular Expression option, LightWayText checks texts corresponding to
- the specified conditional expressions and retrieves the occurrences.
-
- In order to compose different conditions, you can use the specific characters called the
- Regular Expression Meta-characters having the specified special meanings.
- Also, you can use the Escape Sequence Characters such as a '\' character etc.,
- to compose the conditional strings of the Regular Expression.
-
- We have added some additional Regular Expression Meta-characters including
- '(), {n,m}, {n,m}?, \n, &' to improve LightWayText 4.0.4E.
- These changes and additions are shown in red.
- If you have used earlier versions of LightWayText for some time, ensure that you keep
- these changes in mind and be prepared to alter your previous descriptions.
-
- Note: SED Regular Expression Meta-characters are a bit different from
- these Regular Expression Meta-characters in some descriptions.
- If you also intend to use the Stream Editor SED Tool,
- please pay attention these.
- For more details, see the 'Stream Editor SED Manual' of a separate volume
- in the Stream Editor SED folder.
-
-
- Meta-Characters
-
- The following characters have special meaning only in the search and the
- replacement patterns, with the Regular Expression.
-
- . Matches any single character except newline.
- [-]. Matches any one of the enclosed characters.
- A hyphen (-) indicates a range of consecutive characters.
- A hyphen or close bracket (]) as the first character is treated as
- a member of the list. All other Meta-characters are treated as members
- of the list (i.e., Literally).
- [^-] Matches any one character not in the list of the enclosed characters.
- A circumflex (^) as the first character in the brackets reverses the sense.
- ^ Matches the following Regular Expression at the beginning of the line or
- strings.
- $ Matches the preceding Regular Expression at the end of the line or strings.
- (Regards the position of the line feed code as the end of the line.)
- \w Matches an alphanumeric character.
- (This is equal with [0-9A-Za-z_].)
- \W Matches except for an alphanumeric character.
- (This is equal with [^0-9A-Za-z_], and includes Symbols and the Japanese
- characters.)
- \s Matches a blank character. (This is equal with [\n\r\f\t].)
- \S Matches except for a blank character. (This is equal with [^ \n\r\f\t].)
- \d Matches a numeric character. (This is equal with [0-9].)
- \D Matches except for a numeric character. (This is equal [^0-9].)
-
- () Applies a match to the enclosed group or sub-expression of the
- Regular Expressions.
- The symbol '()' performs the opposite action in 'SED Regular Expression'.
-
- | Matches the Regular Expression specified before or after.
- A symbol (|) separates choice to match.
-
- * Matches the sequence of zero or more preceding characters.
- It matches any number (or none) of the individual character that immediately
- precedes it. The preceding character can also be a Regular Expression
- e.g. [since. (dot)] means any character.
- [.*] means 'match any number of any character'.
- + Matches the sequence of one or more preceding characters.
- It matches one or more instances of the preceding Regular Expressions.
- The symbol '+' performs the opposite action in 'SED Regular Expression'.
- ? Matches the sequence of zero or one preceding.
- It matches zero or one instances of the preceding Regular Expressions.
- The symbol '?' performs the opposite action in 'SED Regular Expression'.
- {n,m} Matches the range of instances.
- It matches a range of occurrences of the single character that immediately
- precedes it. The preceding character can also be a Meta-character.
- {n} matches exactly 'n' occurrences, {n,} matches at least 'n' occurrences,
- and {n,m} matches any number of occurrences between 'n' and 'm'.
- 'n' and 'm' must be between 0 and 255, inclusive. The symbol '{n,m}'
- performs the opposite action in 'SED Regular Expression'.
-
- *? Matches the shortest sequence of zero or one preceding characters.
- It matches zero or more instances of the preceding Regular Expressions
- with the shortest matching.
- +? Matches the shortest sequence of zero or one preceding characters.
- It matches one or more instances of the preceding Regular Expressions
- with the shortest matching.
- ?? Matches the shortest sequence of zero or one preceding characters.
- It matches zero or one instances of the preceding Regular Expressions
- with the shortest matching.
-
- {n,m}? Matches the shortest range of instances.
- It matches a range of occurrences of the single character that immediately
- precedes it with the shortest matching. Just like {n,m}, the preceding
- character can also be a Meta-character.
- \1~\9 Relays sub-pattern in match.
- It relays the 'n th' sub-pattern enclosed in '\' into the pattern at this point.
- 'n' is number from 1 to 9, starting with 1 on the left.
- & Relays the search pattern. It reuses the text matched by the search pattern
- as part of the replacement pattern.
- This symbol is only effective in replacement patterns.
-
- \Character
- Expresses the Escape-sequence Characters.
-
-
- Escape-sequence Characters
