{fixed}minor: Help title wrapping [0.9.3h]

infuzion · 22 Jul 2005

Sorry, it's now happening again in 0.9.4g. Still on the (minor) agenda: (minor) Help makes pragraphs from newlines [0.9.3t]

Hi infuzion,

I tried it with your "Buckle my shoe" and it worked fine. Have you got a schematic that shows this?

Also, regarding the paragraphs issue - this is intentional to make it easy to create help text. We could change this to provide more flexibility.

I've seen some new developers (whyterbbt?) double-space in the Help Text not knowing a linebreak will make paragraphs. But most of us "old" developers are used to this by know... Perhaps make a new command, like "\c" for Carrage-return for a linebreak without paragraphing?

cheers

Hi infuzion,

I tried that example. The only module with help text was the Flipper and that worked fine - should I be looking elsewehere?

Thanks for your suggestions about formatting we'll bear these in mind when we think about extending the tooltip help capabilities.

I just d/l the file from rappidshare: the button labled "tgb.WGn.Gy_really_long_help_title" has the broken title wrapping text. cheers

Sorry infuzion, my mistake. I see that now. I wasn't getting the pop-up because it doesn't show if you hover over a part of the module panel that is a mouse area (probably should).

I've had a look - seems like this is slightly different from the previous problem - there's a maximum width and it was set too low. I've corrected this now.

That would be kinda neat... even better if it was able to be turned off. I envision some people (like me) making their own mouse-over help-pop-ups to show knob values etc... cheers
