In Markdown, it is *italic* or _italic_ and **bold** and __bold__. Now for index entries, I don't know exactly - making an automatic index is a special post process function anyway. I think you could do something like [ReadStream][index-entry]s are objects that you can read bytes or characters from. Making a book from several independent source files is quite a job that requires custom programming. It would be very cool if we could do all that in Smalltalk, using a good Markdown parser and a cool object representation. I have nothing against Pier, but it is something that only exists in our niche world, not in the larger world out there. Sven

[Pharo-project] Render images - Porting from Cincom VW to Pharo

by Emilia

Hello! I'm porting code from Cincom Smalltalk to Pharo. It's a web application so I've got several WAComponent instances and one component which inherits from WAFileLibrary that renders images. In the original code ( the one that runned in VW) i had the following instance method in the component that inherits from WAFileLibrary: logoJpg ^ByteArray asPackagedString: '?=#?8@@PR$YIQ @A@ D@X@A @@C?8P))QW!)Y @@RT$*@@ @@@@G@AHA@0@......etc etc' But now when i run it in Pharo the debbugger doesn't recognize #asPackagedString: message. Does anyone know which method should I use in order to render that image? Thanks in advance! Mercy beaucoup! Emilia

Just as a side note, there is no "password recovery" feature for those with bad memory like me. :D Thank you! -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/New-MongoTalk-Repo-tp4654808p4654828.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Pharo-project] selectors vs. localSelectors in condenseChanges

by Pavel Krivanek

Hi, in the condenseChanges method the message moveChangesTo: is heavily called. And this method exports changes for all selectors of the behavior. But I suppose that we want to process only local selectors here. Can some traits guy confirm that we should replace call of the message #selectors with #localSelectors here? Cheers -- Pavel

[Pharo-project] New MongoTalk Repo

by Francois Stephany

I've moved the MongoTalk project to SmalltalkHub: http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~francois/MongoTalk/ The original repo is still available but please use the new one. I don't know how to put a repo in global read/write on Smalltalkhub (is it possible?)
