StyledTextEditor installation is very easy in 4.2!

Hello

The installation of the StyledTextEditor (STE) installation is now
very easy in 4.2.

- Just open a FileList
- and navigate to the 'packages' subdirectory
- and there the 'StyledTextEditor' subdirectory.
- Select 'StyledTextInstaller.pck.st'
- and click 'Install Package' in the FileList browser.

The the text editor is installed together with an example document
with a fragment of ''Macbeth' by Shakespeare and STE documentation.

Thank you Bernhard and Juan for this enhancement.

Regards

Hannes

P.S.

       StyledTextBuilder example2

constructs a styled text and then opens the StyledTextEditor on it.

Yes, the installation process of STE has been made easy by Bernhard and Juan.

As far as I understand this has been achieved by the new directory
structure in 4.2 which includes STE. The dependency mechanism has not
been applied to STE yet.

I tested all the other *.pck.st files in the packages directory by
loading them with the dependency mechanism

e.g.
     (Feature name: #'Sound') require.

(see class comment of the class 'Feature')
and it worked fine.

Hi Hannes,

With the stuff I just commited to github, including moving STE to a new
repo that is a sibling of Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev, you can install STE with

Feature require: 'StyledTextInstaller'

This uses package dependencies to load all that is needed.

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich

Perhaps a package rename?

  Feature require: 'StyledTextInstall'.

or some such?

Hmm.. perhaps

 Feature require: 'StyledTextEditor'

The README.md Installation section should be much shorter!

;^)

Thank you Juan for implementing the new 'Feature' load mechanism.

Something like this

https://github.com/hhzl/Cuis-Smalltalk-StyledTextEditor/blob/master/README.md

?

Yes, the Install section looks much better!

The rename request was in reaction to "requiring an installer".

 The expected result is that I get an installer for styled text -- which I then have to use to get styled text.  No mention of an editor..

Changing the package/category from 'StyledTextInstaller' to  'StyledTextEditor', which would allow me to
  Feature require: 'StyledTextEditor'

This is a bit of a misdirection, but I would expect to get a StyledTextEditor and indeed..

Hey, I confuse easy.  What can I tell you?

Hi Ken,

By the way, the name of the runtime package is StyledText. That's all you need when you want to use it in an application.

The StyledTextInstaller includes some (quite incomplete) example applications. It used to load all packages in the right order. Hence the name. Now that we have Features, it should be renamed.

Cheers,
Bernhard

So you mean

      Feature require: 'StyledText'

should work as well?

Yes, to what?

N.B.

    Feature require: 'StyledTextInstaller'

works fine.

Yes, it loads all packages except the example applications (StyledTextNotebook.pck.st and StyledTextWiki.pck.st) and StyledTextInstaller, which includes documentation and some development time utilities like recreating StyleSets.

If you would write your own application you would only load StyledText at deployment time.

Good question:
a) StyledTextDev
b) StyledTextDevelopment
c) StyledTextUtilities
d) StyledTextDocumentation
e) StyledTextTools
f) better ideas?

Cheers,
Bernhard
