Re: Formatted text for tables.

["Shalom Bhooshi" <s bhooshi gmail com>]

I'd gathered I could pango markup, i just didn't know how to go about it.

First, i had tried setting the markup attribute the long way via Gtk2::TreeViewColumn::set_cell_data_func() like this

$column->set_cell_data_func ($filename, sub {
      my ($column, $cell, $model, $iter) = @_;
      my $cell->set( 'markup' => markupTextAtIter($model, $iter) );
      
},
undef);

It wasn't until you hinted "little simpler" that I realized you could store the markup in the TreeView's model and have it displayed directly like this.

$columns->add_attribute( $cellrenderer, 'markup', MARKUP_COLUMN );

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it.

Shalom

You can do per-word or per-character colors and decorations with Pango
markup.

If you add the "markup" attribute instead of the "text" attribute, you
can put <b>$_</b> and such in that column and things are a little
simpler.
