11 The styledtext Library

The styledtext library is a very small library, implementing the interface to styled text (text in multiple fonts etc.). It is not intended for regular Lidskjalv users, since these facilities are more easily available through other patterns in Lidskjalv (e.g the text editors).

The styledtext library is only available on Macintosh versions. Future releases of Lidskjalv will include some styledtext library on all platforms, however, possibly with a different definition.

11.1 Using the styledtext Library

Remember that in order to utilize this extension to Lidskjalv, the fragment styledtext must be included as follows:

ORIGIN '~beta/guienv/guienv';
INCLUDE '~beta/guienv/styledtext'
--- program: descriptor ---
guienv(# st: @styledText;
         ...
      do ...
         ... -> st.put;
         ...
      #)

11.2 Examples of Use of the styledtext Fragment

No demoes, since this extension is not implemented yet.
