full Text diplay in a ListMorph?

I would like to display Text objects in a ListMorph, but from reading the code (and experience) it appears that the display code for lists, makes the text attributes homogenous across the whole line being displayed ... so any changes to emphasis or color in the Text object are lost ...

That seems to be a shame...

I've spent a bit of time this morning trying to use a Paragraph for display in the list morph, but my ninja morph skills are sadly lacking:) and I'm failing miserably,,,

So, has anyone else encountered and conquered this particular problem?

If you tell me that it is available in 2.0, I suppose that is a good enough answer, but it would be nice if there was Pharo1.4-based solution...

In 1.4 Lists handle text or string only, and the way they are rendered is hardcoded

In 2.0, any kind of object can be rendered as long as they fulfill the correct API

So I guess there is nothing to do about that in 1.4, sorry :(

It is indeed good news that this is supported in 2.0...

Is there a chance that I could back port the behavior from 2.0 or is the fix too involved ... from what I've played with so far, I can see how it could be done, but it would seem to involve pushing around a lot of code:)

It can be back ported easily, it's just a couple of methods :)

But it was at the point when we have decided not to push too much effort in 1.4, so :)


I will try to provide you a slice to do it if you want :)
