I'm new using Xerte, I don't know how to taking the highlighting code routines from xerte editor. Is there an example where I can see it?<br><br>This is an introductory programming course, and in that specific exercise, the user just need to complete the missing words in the java code. I want to color the for loop, etc, so the student can easily read the code, just like in a compiler. So, is not important that the user can interact with individual words in this exercise, but it would be interesting that student can click on some words just to get a little help (about for loop, for example) in a popup window. Its possible to do that on xerte? But this is another problem :)<br>

Maybe I'm doing something wrong. The example file is attached in this e-mail,
so you can see what I'm doing wrong. Before the construction of all interaction
code, the text displays fine. The problem is when I break text apart. Can you
help me please? Or send me your example.<br>

on spaces, so you end up with a bunch of words (the WORD class - you can
then break apart WORDs into characters I grant you). MovieClips are then
created, and textFields, and their text is set. I must be setting.text rather
than .htmlText.There might be a good reason, or it might be an oversight - </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I'll play around and see whats going on,</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 72pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">break apart will break it
out as individual characters.<br>
So my guess is that your html text is also being broken into individual
characters, so is no longer recognized as tags, it's just characters again and
defaults to black.<br>
<br>
You can set the text properties dynamically with code.<br>

Hi,<br>
I'm probably not explaining well (sorry about my english). I need to make a
programming exercise with a piece of java code to complete, and I would like to
put text with different colors. I'm using HTML tags, like this:<br>
<br>
<font color="#0000FF">public static void</font>
<b><i>main</i></b>(String[] args) {<br>
<font color="#999999">//declara um array de
inteiros</font> <br>
<font color="#0000FF">int</font>[] A =
<font color="#0000FF">new int</font>[ |3| ];<br>
<br>
It works fine in preview, but when I use the code to break the words apart ( <i><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;">w =
mainText.breakApart(3,7,false,false);</span></i> ), in preview HTML tags
display as text. Is there another way to do this? Anyone can help?<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot. And I'm sorry for the repeated e-mail.<br>
<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 72pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Hi,<br>
I have a text entry exercise (interaction), and I need to write text with
different font colors. When I use <font color="#000000">
example </font> in a simple text icon, it works. But when I break text
apart with function myIcon.breakApart(...) to make the exercise, in preview all
text colors disappear and shows all the <font> codes, like it was text.<br>
How can I solve this? I'm using Xerte desktop version.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
