Code formatting in CustomHelp

Hi,

I’m doing some tutorials with the help system.

In ProfStef, there is code formatting but not thrgouh the HelpBrowser.
In CustomHelp sublclasses, it’s possible to have some formatting (heading:, bold:, …).

Do you know if it’s possible to have a #code: method so as to use shout specifically ? It doesn’t seem obvious to me.

TIA

Re: Code formatting in CustomHelp

Hi,

there are couple examples in WelcomeHelp.

But more importantly, the HelpTopic content can be a Text, which means you can apply your own formatting. To the text.

For example, I have also subsubheading:

subsubheading: aString

"Return Text object with subsubheading formating attributes."

| text font color |

font := LogicalFont familyName: 'Source Sans Pro' pointSize: 14.

color := Color fromHexString: '3196D3'.

text := aString asText.

^ text

addAttribute: (TextFontReference toFont: font) from: 1 to: text size;

addAttribute: TextEmphasis bold from: 1 to: text size;

addAttribute: (TextColor new color: color) from: 1 to: text size;

yourself

And you can add your code (I've changed the familiny name)

code: aString

| text font color |

font := LogicalFont familyName: 'Source Code Pro' pointSize: 14.

text := aString asText.

^ text

addAttribute: (TextFontReference toFont: font) from: 1 to: text size;

yourself

It would be cool to have a Pillar exporter to Pharo help.

Why don't you extend ProfStef?
