[Xerte] Enabling text selection

That would be the selectableText property of the LearningObject icon
(from Help -> Search -> selectableText) for all the icons or
iconID.txt.selectable = true for individual icons

Subject: [Xerte] Enabling text selection

Hi again

Another quick Q: can I set text in a text icon to be selectable at
runtime? I'm after allowing the user to select text in a read-only field
and copy to the clipboard for printing in another app (too much faff to
build a PrintJob()), or simply to save to disk.

If I can't let the user manually select, I could provide a 'select text'
button - what function(s) would I need to use in that? This is Xerte
2.5.4. TIA.

If it's too much faff, no big - it's unimportant, just a minor grace
note. 

Cheers
