Paths associated with text-list etc.
[1/4] from: c::brizell::worc::ac::uk at: 19-Apr-2001 15:25
Apart from trawling throuh other peoples examples, which is not a bad thing,
how else can I find out the attributes associated with text, text-lits etc
like
list: text-list data read ftp://www.worc.ac.uk
print list/picked
and
email: field to-string [c--brizell--worc--ac--uk]
print email/text
Where are 'picked' and 'text' documented?

Hi, Colin,
Outside of the documentation available so far, the only real way to know all
particulars is to read the source for /View and VID. In case you are
unfamiliar with how to do this, one method is:
write %view-vid.txt mold system/view
Then read the text file with your favorite text editor. After awhile, its
starts to really make sense, and where it doesn't, trial and error will
frequently help.
Good luck.

Hi Colin
As mentioned by GS Jones, there is currently no documentation which
comprehensively covers all of the attribute words used in the VID and View
style objects.
You can access the base objects this way:
st: get-style 'text
Then you can get a block containing the attribute words with
print mold first st
You can look at all of the definitions with
print mold st
or
probe st
