#Scribus paragraph styles code#

the code around line 1882 in pageitem_textframe.cpp could also be interesting.

avox says: 'if you know the character position, you can use class TextLayout to find the relative position in the frame'.

Create a dialog that resizes according to the content (upwards or downwards).

Create a dialog that captures the keys but has not input field (if possible).

Add an API function to know the position of the cursor in the frame (not the index, the x, y coordinates).

Get 'h1' to match 'Heading 1' and 'dp' 'Default Paragraph Style' (space is the delimiter, if there is no direct match).

move the ApplyStyleDialogListItem struct away from the dialog file.

refresh the rendering of the frame and mark the document as dirty.
