Enable plain text stickies code#

Set the word formatting for the new formatted text object using the word formats ( #6) and ranges ( #10).

Set the paragraph formatting for the new formatted text object using the paragraph formats ( #5) and ranges ( #9).

Build a new formatted text object from the replaced text ( #7).

For each range in the word break ranges, find the formatting for the matching word, and if it matches the formatting of the previous line merge the range with the previous range.

For each range in the paragraph ranges, find the formatting for the matching line, and if it matches the formatting of the previous line merge the range with the previous range.

Get the new line break ranges in the replacement string ( #7), and build a text range for each so you can set your paragraph formatting.

Change the words in your strings as desired.Pull the desired word formatting from the formatted text object ( #1) using the word ranges ( #4).

Pull the desired paragraph format formatting from the formatted text object ( #1) using the paragraph ranges ( #3).Find the white space (tabs, spaces), and build a text range for each word so you can pull the word formatting.Find the new lines, and build a text range for each line so you can pull the paragraph formatting.Get the plain text string from the formatted text object.This allows you to work in the formatted text class instead of in the text note class. Get the formatted text object from the text note.

I haven’t tried this, but I think that as long as no ‘spaces’ are included in your replacements, this could serve as an initial pseudo code outline. You’re going to feel all of this crazy, as the formatting is mixed (ie: not just a numbered list with a single text format, but a numbered list proceeding a headin with a differing formatting). In fact it’s perhaps a more crazy nested set of classes and object relationships than anything short of curtain wall stuff, and things working consistently is tough on the memory via OOTB nodes. I suspect that this is because this section of the API is nuts. i do not know of any packages which expose the formatted text options directly.

This means you can read the text, but not the formatting associated to it. Perhaps you can find an easier way around all this?Ĭurrently the OOTB text note nodes do not deal with formatted text objects, only plain text objects. This is a big one, and I haven’t tested myself (nor do I have time to do so) so hope you’re ready for some coding…
