It's really handy for certain types of programs, but it's a
distraction in many others. I find myself turning it off for most
things.
Some changes will be needed in the tutorial, which makes use of
the feature. (The "odds & ends" section discusses it in detail.)
I'm putting that off until other changes are in.
Added a "format help" button to the long comment edit window. This
brings up a quick summary of the format tags in a modal dialog.
Updated documentation and tutorial.
Added a "fancy" flag to MultiLineComment. If set, we will use
formatting commands embedded in the text itself. The max width pop-up
and "boxed" flag will be ignored in favor of width and boxing
directives. (See issue #111.)
The current "fancy" formatter is just a placeholder that folds lines
every 10 characters.
Removed FormattedMlcCache (added two changes back). Caching the
rendered string list in the MLC itself is simpler and more efficient
than having a separate cache, and it works for Notes as well.
Added anchors for more comments in the 20090 test.
