Postscript support

Any possibility for Postscript support?  Or how about opening up the capability to define our own language rules?

Show PDF preview if a local file with the same name exists

Teddy Svoronos 9 years ago in General • 0

Many of us are using remote typesetters to produce PDFs of LaTeX documents. If I have a PDF in the same directory as a Tex file with the same name, it would be great for Textastic to treat it as a "remote file preview" so that I can browse the PDF when activating the preview window

viewing documents on Textastic? and a question about coding Markdown

Beth Chaplin 11 years ago in iPad • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 11 years ago • 4
Hi there -

Please help me in my ignorance; I've just discovered Markdown, but I am having trouble finding an iOS editor that implements it very well.  I believe Textastic supports MultiMarkdown.
1. Does it also support some html tags in a Markdown document, such as the following syntax for internal links in a document:

[Calendar](#calendar)

and

##### CALENDAR

2. And is this a good app for VIEWING Markdown documents? That would be its main function, for me, though the ability to code on the iPad is nice to have.
Thanks!
Beth

MathML in HTML (or Markdown) can't Send As Message in iOS 6

Aslak Raanes 12 years ago in iPhone • 0

This isn't actually only a Textastic-bug, since the same thing happens in some other Markdown-implementations (Daily One, Byword). In Texstastic the same thing also happens when using MathML in HTML.


Something like this (and more complex MathML) looks good in HTML-preview iOS 6:


<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Trigging MathML in HTML iOS bug</title>
</head>
<body>
<p><math><msup><mi>x</mi><mn>2</mn></msup></math></p>
</body>
</html>

but it isn't possible to Send As Message. The send email dialog just disapears and goes back to editor mode. It works on my iPad with iOS 5 (but the preview doesn't look as good).

.command files are shell scripts on OS X

Brian M (tech4789) 10 years ago • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 10 years ago • 2
On OS X, and executable shell script can also have the extension ".command". This isn't detected in the current version of the app and would be nice to not have to manually choose shell script.

Tab widths other than 4 don't work with space input

Richard Brooksby 12 years ago • updated 12 years ago • 5

Set tab width to anything othe than 4. Open a news document. Press space repeatedly. Note cursor jumps left or right after 4 spaces. Switch on soft tabs for other bizarre effects. Especially annoying when trying to line up columns in code!

Web Preview doesn't allow pinch-to-zoom

Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago • updated 14 years ago • 0
Somehow I forgot to set the "scalesPagesToFit" property of the html preview UIWebView to YES. This means, the user can't manually change the zoom scale of the preview.

This will be fixed in the version after 1.1.

Remote preview Acces httaccess directory

Fexxel 13 years ago • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago • 3
In Textastic 4.0 I'm unable to view remote files that are in a htaccess folder. I should be promted for a username and password to view those files.
Now the screen just stays white.

Background Line Color carriage return

Jeff Poblocki 12 years ago in iPad • updated 12 years ago • 2

When formatting code with a background color (like red for invalid) and there is a carriage return right after, the remainder of the line is highlighted in that color. The theme does not preform that way in TextMate. Just my OCD. :) Thanks for your time!
