Not really done, but kinda fun.
This goodie adds a command to the cmd-6 formatting menu (is there a better name for this), 'render HTML'. If you select a bit of HTML in a normal text pane (e.g., a workspace) and select this command, it will replace your HTML with text rendered as Scamper would render it. Handy for adding URLs, images, or lists to your documents. Haven't hacked it into GeeMail yet (which is what prompted it in the first place.
As you can tell, I hope to add other markup types (Latex, Swiki, etc.). I *think* it stores the markup with the rendered text, but I'm not sure ;) There's a host of issues about keeping that synched. Ideally, I'd like if one could render Squeak text to HTML, LaTeX, what have you. E.g. publish your GeeMail docs to the web. Yadda yadda. Gotta run. Have fun."!
Here's a thought. Sometimes I have things like this which are just hacked together to a working state, good enough to share, but not really what I'd want to go into the main distribution. It might help the volunteers if we also added [TBI] (to be included) and [JFF] (just for fun) tags (or the like) to help the sorting process.
Cheers, Bijan Parsia
