SVG - How do I fix this?

[Aidan Grey]

I'm sorry to keep bugging you all, but at least I'm trying to help where I can too :)

So I created a new button for the editor toolbar, and I finally got it to work. (just an FYI - I've done other buttons, just all without svg icons)

two issues: 

- note that the button with the icon (</>) is not the same size as the others - how do I fix that? Is there are site that explains the svg adjustment process?

- originally, I was trying to use "wrap-lines", with an empty prefix and the suffix="<br>". I modelled on list-bullet, but all it did was wrap the selection instead of each line. So, instead, I just made it a replace, so it will insert a <br>  wherever the cursor is. Still not ideal but better than nothing.

All I can think to do is to put multiple "prefix-line"s, and do it 4 times, a character at a time. IS there a better way than this?

1. open your break.svg file
2. Change the tiddler type from "image/svg+xml" to "text/vnd.tiddlywiki"

Hi again Aidan

Sorry I missed the second part of your question.
To start off, that is an excellent idea you put forward. I simply used to switch to text type when I need multiple line breaks, for sake of sheer laziness. What you propose is the solution, now I see it.

I can see where you went wrong. The wrap-lines function in TW-5 is a misnomer. It actually wraps the entire selection, and adds the prefix and suffix only once to the selection. Here is the difference between wrap-line and wrap-selection function in TW5.

Wrap-selection:: If you select a part of a line(for eg: a couple of lines in a sentence), wrap selection will add suffix and prefix to those few words only. This is used in toolbar buttons like bold, italics etc
Wrap-lines:: Even if you select a part of a line, it will wrap the entire line/lines and add suffix and prefix to the whole selection. That is to say, you cannot end selection in the middle of a line when you are using this function. This is used in quote-blocks and code-blocks.

In short, wrap-lines is not wrap-each-line, but wrap-all-lines-once.

Now since I want the functionality you proposed, I put together a plugin to do exactly what you want. It is a new text-edit-operation called suffix-lines. It is similar to prefix-lines, but adds suffix. If you have multiple lines in your selection, suffix will be added to each of those lines. Similar to prefix-lines, it also has a "count" parameter. So if you set the count as 2 or more, it will duplicate the suffix characters that many times.

For example, here is the text for editor toolbar button that will add 2 linebreaks at the end of each lines in selection.

<$action-sendmessage
    $message="tm-edit-text-operation"
    $param="suffix-lines"
    character="<br/>"
    count="2"

/>

There is one functionality I left out in comparison to prefix-lines. Prefix lines will remove the prefix character if it is already present in the selection. It is convienient to have it, but I hardly ever use it, so I have not bothered.

I am attaching the plugin along with a couple of other tiddlers which will actually add the editor toolbar button to add line-breaks. The toolbar button is not a part of plugin. The plugin only provides suffix-lines.js which you may use in any number of editor toolbar buttons.

sincerely

Riz

An observation

It would be great if prefixing lines could add or remove one character. So you highlight all or some lines and add or remove one character at a time.

My experience is that though it says character, you can use however many characters you want. So prefixing an *, is easy - just select the area you want deeper and click the button again .

Only issue i have is that a space is added, and that should get removed.  

I also modified the linkify button to apply prefix/suffix to every line in selection. A single link is a trivial instance.
