Re: Seeking a rich text editing widget

Larry, you would be right. In a phrase i would like "simple MS Word" style editing or "HTML editing" might be better. It would have : font variations, tables, bullet points, inline images, nestings of the above. Any more is a bonus. From the posts I suspect that meagre list will be hard to find.

Hi,
I am seeking a widget (or megawidget) that supports rich-text/html editing.
What do you mean "supports rich-text/html editing"? Do you mean:
allows me to load plain text and then edit that text, applying bold,
italic, underlining, fonts, etc. and then writing the text out in rich-
text or html format?
or do you mean
allows me to load rich-text or html and then edit said text in a GUI
fashion
Actually, the text widget is capable of both types of editing.

Either case, however, requires various degree of additional
programming in support of the functionality. Without more
information, I am uncertain, but if I were a betting person, I'd be
betting the original poster is looking for a megawidget with all the
menuing, toolbars, etc. to provide what many web apps or applications
describe, at times as rich text editing. Something that the developer
could instantiate and have buttons for selecting bold, italic, etc.,
font selection of selected text, etc. and then built in ability to
save (and later load) the data in an industry standard format (html or
rtf), so that the user of the widget doesn't need to know any of the
underlying details and a megawidget which does not expect the
developer to have to code any of the above features.

But, maybe I am off base. If so, sorry - that's where I was heading
with my questions... trying to understand better the requirements.

Does anyone know of a Tcl/Tk megawidget which implements extensive
rich text editing? Something that doesn't require coding additional
tcl procs, etc.?
