Bold and italic done! (maybe underline in the future)
Added 2021-06-08 09:17:04 +0000 UTCThis one was more tedious than expected, largely because the rendering needs to backend and frontend to match in order to produce accurate line breaking. So sets of rendering logic need to be written and synced on completely different platforms, and all rendering implementations are custom. On top of that I needed to build a mini text editor to the web client that can handle live formatting changes.
Underline also turned out to be something not built into browser canvas text rendering, unlike bold and italic. So if I have to manually draw the line under the text which kicks up the editor complexity up another notch. So I'm holding off underline until there is more demand for it. But I think having bold and italic working will satisfy most typesetters.
I'll be reaching out for feedback from testers soon. Next on the list is going through the list of quality of life updates to make things easier to use and tweak default behaviors of AI. Thank you again for your support and stay tuned!
