Free tText plugins: Do Shell & Speak2Me
Obleo sent along a couple of nice tText plugins for us all.
1. Do Shell
For example, if you type cal (the calender), select it and then select Do Shell from the Plugins menu, you get a calender of the current month in a new tab. You can also add a month and year as I did below.
If you type man cal, you get the man page (manual) for cal. You can also type cal -h or cal -help to get the same result.
Some command line terms give extra info not found in the man with help or ones without man pages give more info. Also note, this plugin is un-tested but should work if com. command is on Windows.
2. Speak2Me
Obleo was kind enough to send along a PDF for this great little plugin.
To use these stacks as tText plugins:
- Open Plugin Manager from Plugins menu.
- Choose Existing radio button.
- Click Add and then choose the plugin of your choice

Format Script plugin for tText
This tText plugin is designed to format Rev scripts into HTML for display in a web page.
To install:- Download the "Format Script.rev" file.
- Start tText and select "Plugin Manager" from the Plugins menu.
- Select the last line in the list.
- Click the "Existing" radio button.
- Click the "Add" button and select the "Format Script.rev" file you just downloaded.
It will get added to the list and will be available for use when you close the Plugin Manager.
To use:- Copy some script from your script editor.
- Go back to tText, place the insertion cursor where you want the script to go, and select "Format Script" from the Plugins menu.
- The script in your clipboard will be formatted into HTML and inserted into your tText document.
This is great for adding scripts to blog posts or web pages. For further styling, configure the code & pre tags in your style sheet as the formatting will use both of those tags.
Have fun,Sarah

Change Case plugin for tText
This is my first tText plugin :-)
It's very simple - it just changes the case of the selected text to all upper case or to all lower case, so if you don't get the result you want, just do it again.
To install:- Download the "Change Case.rev" file.
- Start tText and select "Plugin Manager" from the Plugins menu.
- Select the last line in the list.
- Click the "Existing" radio button.
- Click the "Add" button and select the "Change Case.rev" file you just downloaded.
It will get added to the list and will be available for use when you close the Plugin Manager.
To use:
- Select text in tText.
- Select Change Case from Plugins Menu.
If the first char you have selected is upper case, then all other chars in the selection will become upper case. Likewise, if the first char you have selected is lower case, then all subsequent chars in the selected text will become lower case.
NOTE: Undo works. You can cmd+z to get back your previous text.
Have fun,
Sarah Reichelt

Buy tText and take control of your text!
A new, simple text editor...only 12 bucks for Mac and PC versions.
* Folks in Texas will have to pay a little sales tax.

Please note...
One last note...
The $12 cost of tText is not a yearly license fee and incremental updates are included. New, big versions will have a reasonable upgrade fee. Price is subject to change without notice.

tText - extend it with Rev-built plugins!
Here's the part I've been dying to tell you about...I especially like the segment in this Feature Friday (Nov 13) video where the plugin places its results in a new tab! It's my fav feature—and requires only a one line call to the tText API.
The world's first text editor to use Revolution plugins!
That's right, kids...you can write your own plugin extensions to our great new text editor tText—do it right in Revolution! And there's a handy Plugin Manager that makes the process painless and super easy. It even opens your plugin in Rev for you. Just put tText next to the version of Rev you want to use.
Check this out:
- Create, delete, rename and launch your plugin in Revolution via the Plugin Manager.
- Add any existing stack to tText and start using it as a plugin, too!
- Reorder your plugins via drag-and-drop to change the way they appear in tText's Plugins menu.
- You get two sample plugins with the product. Code open and easy to mod.
Remember:
- plugins are separate stacks—not substacks of the tText app.
- Plugins are individual stack files residing in a folder.
- Even the Plugin Manager is a plugin!
Three plugins are included with tText:

- This $12 is not a yearly license fee and incremental updates are included. New, big versions will have a reasonable upgrade fee.
