Sorry for writing a question and answering it a minute later! Here is the code for PluggableSVIShoutMapMorph>>preStyleText that gives fully colorised text in the browser's editor:
preStyleText: t
|aText|
(Preferences syntaxHighlightingAsYouType not or: [t size > self styleSizeLimit]) ifTrue:[^t]. styler ifNil: [ ^t ] ifNotNil:[styler classOrMetaClass: svi selectedClassOrMetaClass; format: (aText := styler styledTextFor: t asText). ^aText].

What do you know, using format: works too (inherited from SHTextStyler) and gives standard styling (eg bold etc), but no shout style colorisation.

BTW, the line quoted is from PluggableSVIShoutMapMorph>>preStyleText. If I replace basicStyle: with unstyledTextFrom: (the only method listed in the 'converting' catgory of SHTextStylerST80's instance methods) the browser will launch, but I don't have styled text...

Hi everyone,
I think that my smalltalk conversion will be much nicer if I can get the SVI emacs-like environments up and running.
The editor and workspace work great, but the SVI ClassBrowser fails at the following point:
basicStyle: (aText _ styler basicFormat: t asText).Where styler is an instance of SHTextStylerST80. Problem is it has no basicFormat method. The only reference to a basicFOrmat method via google is:
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2004-April/077901.htm...
which is hardly useful in this case, although it does point to the function of the method.
First, can anyone suggest a change to the code or a wrapper implementation of basicFOrmat?
This also points to a challenge that the ST community has with regards to it's use of traditional SCM. Since most coding projects (say Rails) use a "standard" text based SCM like CVS or subversion, they can run simple web interfaces allowing access to all versions of all source files. A huge benefit of that is that I can google for some class and method names (that may be in either an upcoming version or may have been deprecated years ago) and I will often find the source that implements that method which is a good starting point, even if noone has ever mentioned my specific issue.
There don't seem to be any such online viewable repositories of, say, the squeak core. Is there any kind of repositary that would be suitable for putting a read only web front end on? Ideally with more granularity than just the snapshots of released image versions.
Cheers,
Mark.
