Hi Alistair,

Try something like this. Now 100% sure it will work.

gtInspectIn: composite
�� <gtInspectorPresentationOrder: 30>

�� ^ composite text
�� title: 'Meme';
�� format: [self asText].

The display block should return the object to be displayed, which is this case is self.

Cheers,

Andrei

Hi All,

I'm currently porting my personal documentation system from Python /
Django to Pharo and am trying to display formatted text in a new pane in
the inspector.�� If I execute something like:

| text |

text := 'Hello World' asText.
text addAttribute: TextColor green from: 1 to: 6.
text

in a playground using "Do it and go", the text is displayed correctly
(with formatting).

If I add a method in the object I want to inspect:

gtInspectIn: composite
�� <gtInspectorPresentationOrder: 30>

�� ^ composite text
�� title: 'Meme';
�� display: [self asText].

the formatting disappears.

I'm able to "fix" the problem by changing:

GLMFormatedPresentation>>format
�� ^ format ifNil: [ format := #asString ]

to:

GLMFormatedPresentation>>format
�� ^ format ifNil: [ format := #asText ]

Is someone more knowledgable about Glamour able to confirm that this is
really a bug?�� If so, I'll submit a formal bug report on fogbugz.�� (If
there's a better solution, that would be great too).

Thanks!
Alistair
