End Box and Start Box (0A and 0B) #43

Open ZXGuesser opened 8 years ago

ZXGuesser commented 8 years ago

Currently there's no easy way to insert the boxing codes for subtitles or newsflash boxes etc. I appreciate that there are few letters left for adding more controls and that most people are unlikely to need these codes.

rawles commented 8 years ago

That was exactly my thinking too. If anyone uses these, or considers them important, we could use something like ESC-{ and ESC-} for these characters. They would be easy to add. How would we show these in the editor? Perhaps by drawing a dotted line around the box that would be created?

ZXGuesser commented 8 years ago

That sounds reasonable to me. Alternatively you could do like with conceal/reveal and have a key to toggle hiding everything that isn't boxed.

I consider these important because I'm trying to create 888 subtitles with edit.tf. Can you add them please?

rawles commented 7 years ago

I'll try to have a look at this next week. In the meantime you might also be interested in @ZXGuesser's full-featured editor at http://zxnet.co.uk/teletext/editor/ which does support start and end box codes.

I've just started working on this in branch 'issue-43'.

rawles commented 7 years ago

I've implemented a rough version of this, which seems to work. I need to improve the UI a bit before merging back in, though.
