[Gambas-user] Possible bug?

[Peter Landgren]

Hi,

I try to put the character "<" in the Text of a TextLabel, but only space is shown in the form?
Same effect if I do it from code and not using the IDE.
The characters after "<" are not displayed in the form.

Using Gambas 2.16.

TextLabel wants HTML: so you must use &lt;

Thanks,

Found it in the documentation too.

However a simple ">" works OK.
And the ";" seems not to be necessary, it's enough with "&lt".

Then it should be named HtmLabel ???
IMHO text is text and a<b should show a<b

Bad habbit to do. This way we have got already to many bad
websites due IE wich do/did accept this in the past. Not a w3c std.

Try this in your label: " I say '&lt' is not equal to '&lt;' "
Read it now strict as text and look then in your label.

BTW.
When the TextLabel goes follow the strict HTML rules or
XML rules your app is broken.
A TextLabel should show IMHO the example exact as typed here.

This is not actually HTML, but some sort of subset. Let's call it "Rich text".

This syntax is native in gb.qt, and emulated in gb.gtk (it is converted on the
fly into Pango markup language).

See the /doc/richtext page in the wiki.

"Rich text is mainly used by TextLabel, GridView cells, and the
Draw.RichText method. "

and TextView ?

 "Rich text is mainly used by TextLabel, GridView cells, and the
Draw.RichText method. "
 and TextView ?      ------>  I meen TextEdit   (sorry i've 5 year late)

...but do not use the method Insert:

taSpots.Insert(p) ....it prints all chars including tags

use:

taSpots.Text = p

Only in this way Rich Text tags will be executed.

[ p is a string containing rich text and taSpot is the name of the TextEdit in
my project]
