Noticed a couple of things while trying multiple
levels of superscripts and subscripts:
- if you select starting within a subscript and
ending after the end of the subscript, and then
request "Style->Character Element->Sub", nothing
happens in the formatted view. The selected
region does overlap a </SUB> end tag, but i
think it would make more sense to make the extra
text join the subscripted text, i.e.
selection
/-----------------------\
the <SUB> quick brown </SUB> fox jumped over the lazy
My suggestion is that "Sub" would yield:
the <SUB> quick brown fox jumped </SUB> over the lazy
Why? Because attempting this kind of overlapping
with other elements (say STRONG) also "unites" the
selected text into a single structure element. In
this case, since SUB and SUP are not toggles like
the others, it makes sense for the selected text
to all become part of the SUB or SUP.
- as it stands, doing this breaks lines in the structure
view. Can someone please explain a bit about what
this means? I've seen it happen in several cases
but i'm not sure what the significance is. The text
of one element is just displayed on several lines
instead of one, within the element.
- as a separate issue, it would be nice if long lines
could be word-wrapped in the structure view.
- i tried selecting something and hitting "Sub" twice.
It was double-subscripted just fine, but then when
i try to move the cursor over the result using the
arrow keys, the subscripted text is skipped.
Further to the structure view:
I tried using the "Character Styles" window. It creates
SPAN elements when i press "Apply", but the structure
window seems to be missing the blue bars for SPAN elements;
if there are other elements in or around a SPAN, the lines
start overwriting each other, some blue bars break up,
and blank lines sometimes appear.
