Re: Styling first line of text

["Norman L. Smith" <nls1729 gmail com>]

Sam:

The ClutterText of the St.Entry does not allow markup
because it is editable.  Using .set_use_markup(true) on
the ClutterText of a label works with pango markup. You
might consider adding a label for the title of your note.
You could parse out the first non-blank line of the entry 
text, add  the pango markup to it, then set the label text 
and then .set_use_markup(true) on the label's ClutterText.

Something like this... 

let lines = content.toString().split('\n');
//assuming first line has text in it....
let title = '<i>'+lines[0]+'</i>;
this._titleLabel.set_text(title);
let ct = this._titleLabel.get_clutter_text();
ct.set_use_markup(true);

You might want to trim the title to be the first N 
characters of the first line.  That might look
a bit better.

Good luck,
Norman
