Styled text, whether just basic bolding/italicising/underlining or more complex styled text formatting is supported only when working in a selected note's $Text area in the text pane. Thus:
- Full styled text:
- Typing into the $Text area & use of app menus on $Text selections.
- Copy/paste from styled text source in other notes or outside Tinderbox.
- Un-styled text (no mark up at all):
- Inspector setting $Text
- Info view setting $Text
- Action code setting $Text. This has been changed by some new action code allowing the setting of $Text size and colour.
- Drag-drop text file import (only supports plain/UTF-8 text)
- Menu: Edit ▸ Paste and Match Style (only characters, whitespace and line breaks are preserved)
Tip: If pasting styled text, it is often much faster to use Paste and Match Style and then re-apply any needed styles, rather than trying to wrangle styled text paragraph styles. Rich pastes often bring their own page width, i.e. different from Tinderbox defaults, with fixed widths/margins which can be problematic for hassle-free printing. Remember that by default text pane rules are hidden so these rogue paragraph settings may be hard to spot. There is no paste option that preserved some formatting, e.g. bolding, but drops margin and tab settings.
