<p>Hi Marcel,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for the overview.</p>
<p>However, I'd be curious why and when we should ever want font to be monospaced or text wrapping to be disabled for text or Smalltalk code? From my point of view, monospacing is a relic of programming languages that provide bad readability due to a complicated or counter-intuitive
syntax, and horizontal scroll bars are inconvenient at all, as exceedingly few mouses support 2D scrolling (I don't even know whether Squeak supports them :D) and you cannot read the whole line at once. Just my two cents :-)</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Styling, on the other hand, should be dynamic if we simply always use a PluggableCodePaneSpec?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Christoph</p>

Hi, there.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Styling in HelpTopic is "under construction" because of how tool builder works. There is usually a lot of "initialization code" which is challenging to toggle at a tool's run-time:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- styling on/off</div>
<div>- fixed (monospaced) font?</div>
<div>- horizontal scrolling on/off (or text wrapping on/off)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Consequently, things that seem to be "under construction" in Squeak's Help Browser might actually be "under construction" in the tool builder (and all it's specs and relationships to pluggable morphs [Morphic] or pluggable views [ST80/MVC]):</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- A new event for changed/update would make sense?</div>
<div>- What are the default values of properties if no further values are specified?</div>
<div>- Is a default value coded in a widgets #initialize or in a tool's (or model's) #buildWith: or in the spec's #ifNil: or in the (tool) builder's #buildPluggable*:? Or at all places together? What are the override priorities then?</div>
<div><br>
</div>

Yeah, I already saw styling in the help topics is a bit under construction, I will be happy to work at this after this change set will have been approved :-)</div>

That looks pretty damn good. This could help a great deal in making Help stuff clearer, so thank you!
