A common problem for the programmer is that of including styled
text into resources. ResEdit provides a nice editor for
manipulating "TEXT" and "styl" resources but otherwise is not a
great text editor. Apple (and just about every CD-ROM supplier)
supply SimpleText which is a reasonable (read: cheap) styled text
editor, but does not save in resource format.
This plugin-compiler for CodeWarrior simplifies the creation of
styled TEXT resources by allowing the user to edit their text in
standard SimpleText source files (with extension .text) and the
compiler will incorporate them as "TEXT/styl" resources. In fact,
the plugin will also process text files created by CodeWarrior
itself and will incorporate the font information defined in the
preferences panel as style information for the entire file.
1.0.1: Corrects a bug where the source file didn't contain a
leading %% - used to drop into MacsBug, not generates an error
message.
