I20081111-0800.

Currently there's no way to control the RTF copy that StyledText creates. We would like to exclude e.g. the LineBackgroundListener(s). See bug 86503 for details.

What do you have in mind here ?

See Bug 52296, would you like something like that ? You'd need to implement your own writer and reader...

See also StyledTextPrintOptions, it allows the application do decide what is going to be printed (text foreground, text background, line background, etc).

Right, and that's exactly what I also need for copy. I don't want to create the RTF myself but tell StyledText what to put into the RTF copy. To be concrete I would like to disable all LineBackgroundListeners.

Steve. we will need new API here. We will need to be smart here so we don't end up with a API that won't make sense the day we decide to fix bug 86503.
