Text formatting


ok, don't have authorware 6, , i'm trying other avenues v3.5

i'm trying reverse engineer functions format text display on screen - making larger or smaller, , inverting it.

does old authorware use kind of markup text formatting ? i.e. there way dynamically edit string that's being displayed change font size etc. ?

the clues have "alt + xxx" codes, , things "[l]".

does of ring bell ?

thanks,
mike.

no version of aw can natively dynamically change displayed text
formatting. 1 workaround embed expressions like:
{test(small,"style 1",""}{test(~small,"style 2",""}
where each curly bracket string formatted differently. way
is use multiple display icons , display appropriate one.

there may ucds can change style don't know of off
hand.

codes "alt + xxx" refer display of atypical characters.
example, alt + 0149 display solid bullet point.

perhaps should consider albrowser lets have
scripting control on embedded browser:
