One of the reasons I made the separate edit mode was so that we could get to use GTK text widgets instead of our own kludge of an edit system. Then we'd get Pango text markup for free. However, it is not an extensible markup language, it specifically only deals with typographic markup. If we were to do a markup, I would not use a random system like BBCode, but rather something standard like HTML/XHTML fragments. -Lars _______________________________________________ dia-list mailing list dia-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
