With Xojo 2025r2.1, I want to be able to Save / Open Styled Text either created in a Xojo application or Pasted from macOS TextEdit.
Xojo 2025r2.1
macOS 26.1
A change may be coming in the next release to address the slowness of handling StyledText paragraph alignment. I’m hoping that also fixes the slowness of StyledText RTF handling. If it does, then I’d feel better about using the built in RTF routines to save and load StyledText.
There is a technique to save and load StyledText here: Retrieving the styled text in saved DBKit.TextArea inputs
Do you have a ticket number for this? I have a project that’s holding off on the next release because of Liquid Glass, but RTF improvements would be something we’d consider.
In the old time, I used a Declare from … a macOS declare project (I forgot its name).
And I do not found it in the Xojo.com web.
Someone ?
PS: not having a rule is a high loss in that case (set Tabs).
I thought this had been assigend a Milestone: https://tracker.xojo.com/xojoinc/xojo/-/issues/78634
but it does not appear to have been after all or…
I may have been looking at this issue, which has a milestone: https://tracker.xojo.com/xojoinc/xojo/-/issues/64636

It looks like is one of those that the milestone just gets changed to the next version, since 2023r1.
It was changed to 2025r3 4 months ago and is not fixed yet. If they plan to release 2025r3 this year it may not make it.
It’s a shame that in my 20+ years of Xojo use StyledText hasn’t improved any. RTF support has been so poor….

this is a good alternative: switch to html editor
