[ANN] Styled Text Editor for Cuis 4.0 Smalltalk
Locked
 
|
Dear Smalltalkers,
I am very happy to announce that the Styled Text Editor for the brand new Cuis 4.0 is now available on GitHub [1]. The Styled Text Editor was first presented by me at last year's ESUG in Edinburgh [2]. Thanks to ESUG the presentation was recorded [3]. The Styled Text Editor is a framework for rich text editing using styles as known from popular word processors like Apple Pages or Microsoft Word. It features paragraph and character styles, allowing easy text formatting using styles only. It is intended for applications where users need to work with good looking rich text in a simple and fast way. Rich text commonly refers to text with formatting information like different fonts, sizes, alignments, and emphasis. To make editing as simple as possible instead of individual formatting information end users apply styles to parts of the text. Editing is made fast by keyboard shortcuts for text navigation, selection, and styles selection. Where possible the feel of widely used rich text editors is supported. It includes many features like - numbered and bulleted list paragraph styles - support for images - multiple level undo and redo - text completion using various glossaries including a dictionary of English with about 166.000 words - RTF clipboard (on OS X VMs with the ClipboardExtendedPlugin) The Styled Text Editor is developed in Cuis with the plan to eventually port it to Squeak and Pharo. The development of the Styled Text Editor inspired many changes to Cuis itself, and It is the first package to use the brand new DVCS based development process for external packages for Cuis 4.0. The idea and funding was provided by me, Bernhard Pieber and my company Software Generation. The implementation was done by Juan Vuletich, the mastermind behind Cuis. Thanks Juan for the close cooperation. It was and still is great fun to work with you. We are looking forward to feedback from you. Fork it on GitHub [1], create issues and send us pull requests. ;-) Cheers, Bernhard Pieber [1] https://github.com/bpieber/Cuis-StyledTextEditor [2] http://www.esug.org/wiki/pier/Conferences/2011/Schedule-And-Talks/StyledTextEditor [3] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUoVbvwspi8&list=PL813665D04A2E4C0A&index=7&feature=plpp_video |

I know and I am all behind it, 100%. The thing is, this "history" behind the Squeak/Pharo divide is still lurking between the lines and I (personally) am tired of it. For example, I often get the feeling that my posts to this list raise replies as if I am some kind of "outsider", just because I was heavily involved in Squeak earlier or something. I am a Pharoer too. I may be more of a bystander these days than a contributor (since I don't have a lot of time to spend) - but I am only using *Pharo* these days, not Squeak. Yup, sorry Squeak, but it is just the reality. I *still* wish the best for Squeak though, and all other open source or commercial efforts in the Smalltalk arena. I think it would be nice if we all could be a little bit more positive and inclusive, especially the people who are prominent in our (overlapping) communities - you set the example. :) I really don't see any gain in Pharo spewing negatives over Squeak, Squeak is still the inheritage of Pharo and I for one am proud of the friendliness of the Smalltalk community. Nor of course see I any gain in spewing in the other direction, it goes both ways. Now, I suspect this light criticism wrapped up in smileys and all, and with all the good intentions, will still lead to negative replies. But I hope not. Perhaps time to simply move on? ;) regards, Göran PS. I love all the momentum in Pharo right now, it all looks very good, and I am itching digging into 1.4! Superb work. |

Beautiful work Bernhard and Juan!
I just discovered the greatest feature I never knew I was missing, word completion for text! This is so much better than battling with a spellchecker until one of us figures out what I was trying to say. :) |

Thank you David and Germán for the kind words! They are much appreciated!

I stop reacting to these things long ago. It just a waste of time.
I don't care if people prefer A over B or C over D, as long as they are not evangelizing me make same choice. I never spew on Squeak or people, since i am part of community.. and its like spewing on myself at the end... Apart from it, lying the facts about quality of some smelly Squeak code (and consequently Pharo as well, since it inherits from it). There is no need to divide on camps. Bad code is bad code, no matter if it is in Squeak or Pharo. As i told before, i prefer to call 'crap' what is crap. And it is completely neutral towards fork(s), and based only on quality of code in question and my bias towards better solutions :) And i expect that pointing out to this should not provoke negative emotions, but an efforts to fix it (or discussion how to fix it). And i DO respect an effort of people who implemented things we using.. Even if implementation not perfect. But hey, we are here to fix it! And pointing out to flaw is a first step. 2012/4/23 Göran Krampe <[hidden email]>: > Hey all! > > On 04/23/2012 03:43 PM, Stéphane Ducasse wrote: >>>> >>>> It doesn't really matter who started it.

Top post: Is there a market for a pure ST RTF implementation?
My first thought is "it can't be that hard to do" which is of course probably quite wrong, given that I don't know much about how RTF works:) I'm curious about why RTF would live in a plugin, given that it's so common a format. Is that because the plugin wraps some convenient native libraries? On Apr 26, 2012, at 12:21 PM, "Juan Vuletich (mail lists)" <[hidden email]> wrote: > Quoting "H.

Hi Casey,

Is that because the plugin wraps some convenient > native libraries? No, you got me wrong! Maybe you'd check the code, but anyway... The RTF for StyledTextEditor is pure Smalltalk. The export was done by me, and was quite easy to do. The parser for import is based on Sophie's. The extended clipboard plugin is used to bring RTF (and any other supported format, like bmp/jpeg/tiff) from / to the OS clipboard. That's why I say that supporting RTF file format is no big deal.

Aha! Yes I understood quite improperly. Now I get it though.
As far as reading the actual code (you're quite right, I should have) it's just rather a challenge from a DRM phone:( I mean to fix this, but first I need to get Celeste (or some such) working in Cuis, and then get Cuis working on my phone again! :) On Apr 26, 2012, at 4:12 PM, "Juan Vuletich (mail lists)" <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hi Casey, > > Quoting Casey Ransberger <[hidden email]>: > >> Top post: Is there a market for a pure ST RTF implementation? >> >> My first thought is "it can't be that hard to do" which is of course probably quite wrong, given that I don't know much about how RTF works:) >> >> I'm curious about why RTF would live in a plugin, given that it's so common a format.

I encountered a small glitch installing this -
the example files had a .object suffix, but the code to open them
did not.

The Styled Text Editor was first presented by me at last year's ESUG in Edinburgh [2]. Thanks to ESUG the presentation was recorded [3]. The Styled Text Editor is a framework for rich text editing using styles as known from popular word processors like Apple Pages or Microsoft Word. It features paragraph and character styles, allowing easy text formatting using styles only. It is intended for applications where users need to work with good looking rich text in a simple and fast way. Rich text commonly refers to text with formatting information like different fonts, sizes, alignments, and emphasis. To make editing as simple as possible instead of individual formatting information end users apply styles to parts of the text. Editing is made fast by keyboard shortcuts for text navigation, selection, and styles selection. Where possible the feel of widely used rich text editors is supported. It includes many features like - numbered and bulleted list paragraph styles - support for images - multiple level undo and redo - text completion using various glossaries including a dictionary of English with about 166.000 words - RTF clipboard (on OS X VMs with the ClipboardExtendedPlugin) The Styled Text Editor is developed in Cuis with the plan to eventually port it to Squeak and Pharo. The development of the Styled Text Editor inspired many changes to Cuis itself, and It is the first package to use the brand new DVCS based development process for external packages for Cuis 4.0. The idea and funding was provided by me, Bernhard Pieber and my company Software Generation. The implementation was done by Juan Vuletich, the mastermind behind Cuis.

Found the bug. It didn't happen always, only if there was a $. in some part of the path. It is fixed now on GitHub. Thanks, Bob! Cheers, Juan Vuletich Quoting Bob Arning <[hidden email]>: It only works if I manually remove the .object suffix from

Hi,
I tried to install StyledTextEditor as follows (and according to instructions on GitHub): 1. fresh Cuis 4.0 2. cloned StyledTextEditor from GitHub 3. unpacked scowl-7.1 in same directory as Cuis image
4. run Cuis and install StyledTextInstaller.pck 5. Do-it StyledTextInstaller new install
Step 5. fails with DNU CodePackage class(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand: #named:createIfAbsent:registerIfNew: See attached log. Any hints
