I have found some errors in my first version and currently I am trying to add RTF support. I utilize TRichMemo for this because I think it is sufficient for my case (I only develop and test for Windows 10/11 at the moment). Also SVG support is wanted. What would be an appropiate way to provide my work and partial results? As I deal with the FPC source code, your opinion and suggestions might be particularly meaningful. > _______________________________________________ > fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org > https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
