hi!

Is there a way to open a text in a window in Pharo?

Doing: Workspace openContents: 'hello world'

Is there a way to remove the syntax highlighting?

I have recently been using
ws := Workspace openLabel: 'A Nice Label'.
ws contents: '"', 'my contents', '"'.

ie: wrapping the contents with doubles quotes which simply make the contents a comment in the workspace.

This is what I noticed was being used for the workspaces opened in in new image.

I do wish we had a simple text box to receive such content which was not necessarily meant for syntax highlighting.

I am using Workspace in my situation to provide progress updates on background processes which take hours to accomplish their task.

I don't know if any of the recent work towards improving Transcript helps here. For me I would want an independent Transcript which I label and control. Not the general Transcript.

Hope this helps.
