I've written a simple WYSIWYG editor in Hollywood. You can download it from this link: [url]https://amiga.icu/download.php?lng=pl&pg=16&tconfig=0#z2[/url]

Slovo Editor works very well on AROS One 32-bit; see screenshot

On AROS One 64-bit, it works, but I get an error and the system freezes if I click the Cut, Copy and Paste buttons

Question: Will Slovo Editor be able to load or save other file formats in the future?

Yes, as soon as I finish optimizing the code, I plan to restore the RTF loading and saving capabilities that were available in the previous version. Next, I'll try to tackle the DOCX format, but I can't promise anything, as it's supposedly a lot of work. If Final Writer's format is text and not binary (I don't know yet), I'd like to support that as well.

New version 0.6 released. I've added resize and RTF import and export. Import is still imperfect, but it should handle documents without images. The link is the same.

Great, saving as RTF works fine, but opening an RTF file (created with Office 2007) doesn't work

Please send the file that doesn't open to my email.

New version released. Added export to docx, improved import from rft. [url]https://amiga.icu/download.php?lng=en&pg=16&tconfig=0#z2[/url]

When I export a DOCX file, I get an error – see the attached screenshot!
Importing RTF (with multiple pages) doesn’t work, It takes a long time to open an RTF document

I have attached a test RTF document; it takes a long time to open, and only the first page is displayed

The export error indicates a missing unpacking plugin. I'll fix it tomorrow. Regarding your test rtf file, it contains tables, which Slovo doesn't (yet) support. Hence the long parsing time and the significantly different result from the original. I'm actually surprised Slovo even read the table contents. I envision this as a simple text editor. I'll try to expand its text capabilities and maybe add image embedding, but tables are a different story. I'm afraid that even if they could be programmed, Hollywood would take a very long time to process them. In any case, in the current version, I suggest testing text documents without tables and images. Attached is what was loaded into Slovo from your RTF file. I believe it's the entire text, but without the table, it fits entirely on one page.

I'm afraid the saving error to docx is a bug in the AROS version of the zip plugin. I've reported this to the author Hollywood.

How difficult would it be to implement syntax highlighting like Scintilla does? Your text editor could be something like Notepad++ as far as being more than a simple editor.

For the Amiga I use Turbo Text as a text editor. I really like that one! Nice features. Although it could be better.

I use Scintilla Text Editor (SciTE) on Windows & Linux. For AROS I use the Text Editor, Jano Editor? It has the keyboard shortcuts for copy/paste and goto line. That is convenient. But it doesn't offer syntax highlighting and it messes up the indentation.

Already Slovo Editor has some of the planned features of the old project "Cinnamon Writer". It's very promising. I look forward to using it.

there is egVim as a simple editor for aros

@miker

Once I had interest writing a simple but powerfull editor for aros , Named after my twins TwinsIDE ,

https://serk118.blogspot.com/2021/12/aros-integared-development-application.html?m=1

TwinsIDE is based on mui class

I tried editor class with murks (see screenshots)

https://serk118.blogspot.com/2022/09/syntax-highlighting-added-to-texteditor.html?m=1

And I was progressing well than AmiSSL landed on my table and arSFSDoctor , To be fair I even forgotten about TwinsIDE project .

Now days I have less coding time and alot to do, maybe one day if I free myself from my multiple ongoing projects than I love to go back and finish off TwinsIDE..


Nowadays I just use aros editor mainly

New version released. Lists have been added: bullet and number, as well as a ruler (not active yet) and a scrollbar.

It is possible to align the text in columns and add images

Adding images to documents is on my to-do list. As for column text, I think it would be possible after implementing tables. However, I'm afraid that such an expansion of the program will significantly slow it down. It's written in Hollywood, and from what I've gathered, scripting languages ​​are quite slow. Right now, the program is slow when it comes to text operations and can only be used for short documents. Unfortunately,

ok thanks

I thought Hollywood was a good language even though you shouldn't have any scripting problems with Slovo

There's no "good" language: there's the one which more easily/conveniently allows you to solve your problems.

Hollywood is a wonderful programming language. It has incredible capabilities, and the ease of compiling the same code for multiple operating systems is simply amazing. The performance issue may stem from, on the one hand, not being designed for tasks as large as a word processor, but also from my code not being properly optimized. Once I achieve the features I consider essential, I'll look into this aspect. Maybe I can improve things. For now, I'm struggling with images [img]https://i.imgur.com/jnQ89ba.jpeg[/img]
