I want to have colored text in scite to help make simple ascii maps/graphics.
I have created a neew properties file called map.properties and imported it.
but what will be its content?
I want to be able to give a different color to each alphabet.
so "a" may come in green, "b" in red and so on.
This should only affect the files *.map.
thanks
The properties files work together with a parser written for a specific syntax.
So you have to specify both the properties file and the parser.
Sometimes a parser can be re-used.
The c, c++, c# and java syntaxes look very much the same and was therefore done under one parser.
There is no parser that parses all the letters of the alphabet seperately.
So you will need to make both a properties file and a parser.

My use case is as such: my web application is only available in English and we are using the font Nunito. Some people write within the app with characters from other alphabets, but it works, I guess because the browser automatically changes the font. So for example if I write this, it works: γεια σας สวัสดี 你好 Helló ሰላም صباح الخير
But you can make a PDF export from my app, and I had to declare the font for the export, so of course now the characters not included in Nunito are replaced with blank rectangles.
I want the PDF export to display all the characters, and I know the font Noto is available in a lot of languages with different alphabets, but the thing is, as I said, our app is only available in English, so I cannot use a specific font depending on the selected language, and even if it was possible, that wouldn't fix the problem when mixing different alphabets.
So my question is: is there a single font that includes "a lot of" alphabets; or is there a way to load different fonts (such as all the Noto variants) and add a mechanism that chooses the best one for every character (something like a fallback from font to font, like I guess the browsers do)?
I am unable to format the text in a text object. For example, I need headers in bold, while the body of the text could be normal. Can I get any hints on this?
I know this can be achieved via extension objects, but I do not have any experience creating them.
This is not currently possible in QlikView 11. It has been an open development request for quite some time.
You have two options:
Use multiple text objects and lay them over each other (i.e. make the topmost one bold and its background transparent).
Use an extension object, however, this then restricts you to AJAX/WebView for your document. There is an existing extension (written by Stefan Walther) that has this capability here (git repo).
Is there a text editor that will let me shade certain code blocks with specific colors so I can easily find them later? Bookmarks are great, but I also wanted to shade with the same color all code blocks which are somehow related to each other.
and
When my current text editors autocreate curly braces or parentheses for me and I type what I want in between them, are there any that let me either jump to the end of the line to put a semicolon there, or "return" to type the next line, or do I always have to use the arrow key to get out of the curly braces? Perhaps there is a shortcut I'm missing?
I think about every code editor, including Notepad++, has bookmarks. If you're looking for a more complete IDE, it probably depends on the language you're using. For .NET languages that is Visual Studio, but you probably would have known that. For PHP, Javascript and HTML/CSS, you can use Netbeans for PHP. Netbeans is also available for Java. It is a rich editor, and I think one of the best free general purpose IDE's available.
Marking pieces of code in colors is unknown to me. I've never seen an editor that supports this. You would also need a project in which to store the start and end points of these blocks, unless you would save them as comments or so in the file itself.
Visual Studio knows regions which you can define by a start tag and an end tag. You can collapse and unfold an entire region at once, making it quite easy to navigate through larger files.
But these regions are actually part of the code file, so you cannot use this for any file, because those region markers will probably make the file invalid.
I'm still wondering why any other shortcut key would be easier or more convenient than 'arrow down'..
I am very new to Cocoa and Objective C so please forgive me if this is a dumb or obvious question. I'd be very grateful just for pointers to the right classes to read the documentation for or any existing web resources that will help me figure this out. I am very much willing to do the hard work figuring this out if I can find some suitable resources to point me in the right direction.
I am writing an app that, essentially, will contain a text view into which a user will enter multi-line text. This will then be parsed (I'm thinking of using an NSScanner or, maybe, the ready-made stuff in ParseKit) to extract and tokenise certain words and numerical information which will be stored in a model object.
I think I can figure out the parsing and data-storage stuff. However, I would like the tokenised words and numbers to be highlighted to the user so that they can easily see them, change them and also have a contextual menu (with a disclosure triangle) to perform actions such as ignoring them. Ideally this would look a lot like the way Xcode deals with class names (underlining them with dashed line, giving them a menu etc).
I've had a look at NSTokenField but this seems to be suited most to single-line fields and the big blue tokens are a bit too visually disruptive for what I want. Also, the docs seem to suggest that using the plain text style only allows one token per field so I couldn't mix that with another style to get the effect that I'm after.
I've also had a look at text attachment attributes but I can't quite conceptualise whether they would be the right way to go. So, my questions are:
What is the best way to tokenise only some text within a multi-line text view?
Is it possible to implement a custom visual style for the tokens? Can I do this with existing classes or do I need to create my own?
Watch the WWDC sessions on the Cocoa text system. The class you want to understand is NSLayoutManager.
I'm looking for something like CSS for code. Does it exist either in an IDE, or as a plugin?
The compiler often doesn't care how many more spaces or tabs or newlines you have between tokens in your code, but people do care.
I want to specify in my "style sheet" that braces always live on a seperate line, commas are always followed by spaces, and spaces always surround operators.
Somebody else could then take my code and in their style sheet, specify that no unnecessary spaces should be visible, braces should always be on the same line as their predecessor, and functions should always be separated by 3 line breaks. But the code itself should not actually change.
Is there such a tool?
I don't think such a thing exists, the best solution is to have a custom style for local coding (most IDE's allow this) and then use a tool to reformat your source code (like Jalopy for Java) when you commit it centrally.
That way you have something that's common centrally, but can still style how you want locally.
I don't know of any tool that can arbitrarily apply a style to code without actually modifying the text itself. Since you need to edit the code, that seems impractical.
This is called code formatting and if you google "code formatter" and your language of choice you should get a list of available options.
Try some eclipse based IDE (Aptana) or eclipse itsefl and and from there you can configure how the formatting works :)
