In general the issues applies if you don't have standard settings and you are running SS 0.98.6356 or later (rough estimation, it could be a more recent version).

Strictly about WriterRegion plugin, I can't test it now but only the recent beta versions with direct math editing should be affected (latest stable has still the plain text dialog and should be safe)

To customize the marker style (font size, colors, decorations...) select the markers (mouse click or CTRL+ALT+L) and change the style as usual; marker type and specific properties can be customized from dialog via toolbar/context menu/keyboard shortcuts;

P.S. (1) files that contains lists won't load if you don't have this plugin version; if everything works fine I plan to provide some releases for older versions of SMath Studio;
P.S. (2) TextRegionUtilities plugin will be updated later these days;

after updating to SMath Studio 0.99.6953
I have detected the following problems
1) Opening existing files: each writer region is not shown
2) Creating new file: the new writer regions are correctly created and displayed, but after closing and reopening the file, they are not visible

Hi,

I don't know if this happens only to me but I can't seem to find the "ok" and "cancel" button on the custom bullet list.

Can you help me on this? Thanks!

Hello Davide!

Just a suggestion: I think underlining of text should be reviewed in order to draw this line under the text using DrawLine. This approach will allow to change color and style of the underline and this will fix issues like these: when justify allignment set for Paragraph.

(Word vs Writer Region)

One note: Word do not even render space at the end of a line. Otherwise we may expect glitches like this:

I'm working to fix issues like this one in Text Region, so this may be interesting to you as well. Seems Underline Style of the Font is something not good for those who renders text themselves.

Best regards.

Text-decorations are already owner drawn, this it's really weird, I have to investigate why it looks so bad (probably some dpi-related issue? I remember there were some adjustments to not disconnect lines between characters on print)

edit: I haven't noticed that in your screenshot there was a justified text, missing lines fixed, thank you!

Yeah I know, something to improve, has bad impact on justified alignment as well

Hello Davide,
You mean that eventually 90° anticlockwise will render like this:

PLUGIN UPDATED SMath Studio 0.99.7107 (Beta) and later

  • trailing whitespaces are no more counted in the alignments (like in regular rich text editors); when focused, if some whitespaces fall out of the region width, a greyed area is now shown on the right side to let you navigate them - even, properties are kept but not shown if they are there.
  • new "rotation" context menu (as for now only with 90 degrees rotations);
  • minor fixes;
  • refactoring;

Thank you very much for the good WriterRegion Plugin!

Question about fields insertion. I cannot find some fields,
which are available in SMath. For example:

  • "Worksheet revision"
  • "File name"
  • "Current page index"
  • ...

With the Menu of SMath "Insert -> Fields" the fields are only
updated in standard TextRegions, but not inside WriterRegions.

With the Menu of WriterRegion "Insert -> Fields", of course the fields
are updated, but only 7 out of 13 fields are available.

Kind Regards
Mathys
