This object is suitable for displaying formatted text. Currently the
object uses a unique font but it performs auto-wrapping and supports bold,
underline and foreground color directives in a HTML like format.
As the user resizes the object's width, the object automatically changes
its height in order to accommodate the whole text using the new width.
The object can also provide an optional vertical scrollbar.
The FORMATTED TEXT object will be improved soon to support other useful
features as the possibility to have sensitive text (highlighted as a HTML
link) invoking a callback.
Currently supported directives:
<B> enable bold (actually double strike
text)
</B> disable bold text
<U> enable underlined text
</U> disable underlined text
<C red,green,blue> set text foreground to the specified
R-G-B values (decimals)
</C> switch back to black foreground
When the FORMATTED TEXT object creation button is pressed, a modal dialog window is open so you can choose whether to use the vertical scrollbar or not, the desired initial width, the clip heigth (only if the 'Scrolled' radio button is activated), text margins, line spacing and Tab spacing.
The 'Object Specific' dialog window allows you to modify the
margins and spacing attributes.
