Yeah what I'm trying to do mostly is a "block" element in the text, "inline" is just a side thing, not essential. What I'm trying to do is best described as an analogy with HTML.
Let's say I've got the following HTML: <p>This is a paragraph</p> <img/> <p>Another paragraph</p> I'm only using <img> as an example because it's a block element. It goes on its own line and moves with the paragraphs (if, ex, the first paragraph grew). I know I can use NSTextAttachments for a "block image", but in my case I want this to be any NSView because it requires interaction. So, I need to be able to embed a block element in a text view and have it move with the text. There should be no text on the same line as the NSView. I feel like with NSTextContainer or NSLayoutManager but I can't quite figure out what the right combination is. I've read the Text Layout Programming guide but I feel no closer to knowing. Thanks for the help so far!
