[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: RTF editor?

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think there is one at the jface level, and if there is then its
capabilities will be equivalent to those of a StyledText (eg.- mixing of
fonts or font sizes would not be supported).  There are requests for
StyledText to be extended in areas like this though, such as
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=83405 , so keep watching.

My understanding is that there's an RTF editor (or rather, an editor that
with certain settings functions as an RTF editor) within JFace.  However,
that's heresay because I've never actually used the API.  IBM people, is it
there?

Hi all,

does anybody know some Rich Text Format editor widget for SWT?

Any help will be appreciated,

Hi,

I am looking for the same for quite some time - but to my best knowledge,
there is no reasonable, high-level editor for SWT.

You can do some text formatting with the custom StyledText widget, but not
enougth for my purposes.
What I am looking for is an editor that supports styled text (colors, sizes,
bold, italic and underlined text as well as such common things like
lists...) at a fairly abstract level - so not everything must be implemented
using a lowlevel api.

If anybody has seen such a widget, I would be higly interested as well.
