Texteditor gadget

I've got a problem with the texteditor gadget in reaction. I want to have some of the text as bold. But can't get it working right.

from the autodocs:

<ESC> + u Set the soft style to underline.
<ESC> + b Set the soft style to bold.
<ESC> + i Set the soft style to italic.
<ESC> + n Set the soft style back to normal.
<ESC> + h Highlight the current line.
<ESC> + p[x] Change to color x where x is taken from the colormap.
0 means normal. The color is reset for each new line.

The following sequences are only valid at the beginning of a line.

<ESC> + l Left justify current and following lines.
<ESC> + r Right justify current and following lines.
<ESC> + c Center current and following lines.
<ESC> + [s:x] Create a separator. x is a bit combination of flags:

I can get the highlight to work,and tried the +l,+r and +c,they worked too. Can't get the underline working and not bold and italic. No idea why those won't work.
Can anyone help me?

Probably because texteditor.gadget is not finished yet :

Thread on UtilityBase

@centaurz

Hmm,not good

Any idea if/when it will be fixed???

@Antique

No idea, but on the other hand there is a richeditor.gadget with advanced features coming with (and used by) CodeBench, but no public include file or autodoc for it (yet).

@centaurz

That's because richeditor is still a WIP, the API is still changing, and so are the includes for it. Once it matures Pete plans to make it public.

@Rigo

Has this changed by now and is it available?

No, not yet, sorry

@Rigo

No problem.

I hope that this information is wrong, but reports suggest that Coder was killed in a road traffic accident.

It appears so, and very sad news it is to. I lost a close friend some years ago in a similar situation, it too came as a great shock.

My deepest sympathies go out to his family and loved ones left to suffer this bereavement.

In any case, there is a new thread taken up with this subject, so please use that, as it is OT here.

Yes, that thread was started after my above post.
I only posted as it was Coders' last forum post here.
