Description

Loads a HTML page as rich text.
Does not work on server due to missing main thread support for Cocoa.

Warning: The plugin can only read/write the styles/formats which Apple supports for their cocoa framework.

Looks like font OpenSans will be converted to Times. You can avoid it by replacing 'OpenSans' with e.g. 'Helvetica' before reading HTML.

Examples

Read HTML:

MBS( "RichText.ReadHTML"; "<p>Schokoladenplätzchen</P>" )

Convert HTML to formatted text:

Let ( [
r = MBS( "RichText.ReadHTML"; "<p>Schokoladenplätzchen</P>"; "UTF-8" );
o = MBS("RichText.FormattedText");
r = MBS( "RichText.Release" )
]; o )
