I would like to be able to bold, underline, and italicize words in the notes field. It would also be great to be able to insert images in the notes too(smilies, etc). Thanks for listening!
Hello,
That might have to wait for a future iPhone OS update as I don’t think that ability is possible with the UITextView control that I’m using to display the text. I know some other apps have that ability, but they’ve most likely either coded it themselves manually or are using a web page to display the content. In either case that’s a big job and probably not something I’ll be able to get to unless Apple releases their CoreText framework for iPhone which would allow for this functionality.
But I agree it would be very useful.
Thanks,
Brendan
@NewKreation: You can use emoji characters just fine in Note field types.
Any news about this in iOS 5?
Actually what is really needed are:
1. Headers (bigger font, bold)
2. Lists: numbered, bullet
3. Tables?
How about two controls, one for viewing notes and another for editing? For the latter you can using the old plain control that you have right now, and let people to insert some text-formatting tags – e.g. HTML/XML hybrid, or wiki syntax tags. And for viewing you would use another control…. that makes use of those tags.
