Thanks a lot, Eric. This helps a bit. I have compared your XML to the code form my shape and noticed that the <textbox> node is not included in my shape. Instead, it is using an svg:text element, which apparently is not recognised correctly by Dia. If I enter the textbox node into my XML, I can enter text into the shape alright, except that I don't know how to specify the formatting or the default text.
Is this documented anywhere? I tried here, but couldn't find anything on the required additional options for the textbox element: http://git.gnome.org/browse/dia/tree/doc/custom-shapes Cheers, Martin Am 30.09.2012 um 22:49 schrieb Marchand Eric: > Le 30/09/2012 22:04, Martin Wunderlich a écrit : >> Hi all, >> >> I have been trying to create custom shapes where the user can enter text >> (see my other postings about the recipe diagrams).
