1059.0. "Losing WPS-PLUS attributes - A feature?" by BODRUM::YEGEN (the HOTLINE dude) Thu Jul 16 1992 14:09

    Also crossposted in MAGIC::WPS-PLUS
       
    Due to the changes in character tables from MMCS to ISO LATIN 5, I have
    to convert some characters to some specific characters in all the
    documents of the users in our office, I have already written the
    scripts which run without problem.
    
    Assuming that I am converting all x characters to w in the documents of
    the users, after editing the document I am using an UDP like :
    
    {GOLD ;}x{CR}y{CR}
    
    This does what I want but I am loosing attributes of x ie. if it is a
    bold x the output is w which is no more bold, or if x is underlined the
    output w is not undelined.
    
    Can sombody please sugget me a way of doing this, I am almost at the
    end of 3 months project and stucked at this position.
    
    Any help will be appreciated,
    
    Best regards,
    
    Tansu YEGEN @TWI
    
    PS: We are using WPS-PLUS V3.0 but I tried to run the scripts on
    WPS-PLUS V4.0 and nothing did change.

1059.1Will Insert rendition do the trick?BUFFER::VICKERSand thanks for all the fishThu Jul 16 1992 15:5719
    I changed the title of the base note to give a bit more of a clue to
    the contents of the topic.

    I am not an expert on WPS-PLUS as regulars know.  However, I believe
    that the rendition options on the GOLD M menu inside of WPS-PLUS might
    solve your problem.  I don't have any documentation so I can't get the
    exact meaning but I believe that if the following is done you will have
    joy:

        Insert mode with renditions (Y/N):          Y

    Of course, I've been wrong before.

    If that doesn't work (you'll have to add this to the UDP, of course)
    then you may have to learn all the fun of using the TEXT_FILE function
    as it would support what you need.

    Good luck,
    don
