This code works. If there is someone who knows an easier way to do it please share. Until then if this helps anyone then feel free to use it.
I created it since there was never the same amount of lines between titles to uniformly choose a line number to style
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put empty into fooditems
put 1 into titlearraycount
repeat for 5 times
put "This is a title" & return after fooditems
put the number of lines in fooditems into listTitles[titlearraycount]
add 1 to titlearraycount
put "this is some text" & return after fooditems
put "this is some more text" & return after fooditems
put "this will finish it" & return after fooditems
put "-------------------------" & return after fooditems
end repeat
set the text of fld "A" to fooditems
repeat for each element deline in listTitles
set the textSize of line deline of fld "A" to "22"
set the textStyle of line deline of fld "A" to "bold"
end repeat
end mouseUp

Here is my way:
Code: Select all
put "<h1>This is a title</h1><font size=22>this is some text<br>this is some more text<br>this will finish it</font><br>-------------------------" into temp
set the htmlText of field "A" to temp
just 2 lines.

Hi Da_Elf,
good idea to "serialise" this. There is another advantage of your method:
You created a 'numbering system' of the entries with that.
I changed the second part of your script slightly to show what I mean.
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put empty into fooditems
put 1 into titlearraycount
repeat for 5 times
put "This is a title" & return after fooditems
put the number of lines in fooditems into listTitles[titlearraycount]
add 1 to titlearraycount
put "this is some text" & return after fooditems
put "this is some more text" & return after fooditems
put "this will finish it" & return after fooditems
put "-------------------------" & return after fooditems
end repeat
lock screen; lock messages
put fooditems into fld "A"; set textsize of fld "A" to 14
put the keys of listTitles into kk; sort kk numeric
repeat for each line k in kk
put listTitles[k] into deline
put "[" & k &"]" & space before line deline of fld "A"
set textStyle of line deline of fld "A" to "bold"
set textSize of line deline of fld "A" to "22"
-- put item (1+ k mod 5) of "green,red,cyan,gray,yellow" into tc
-- set textColor of first word of line deline of fld "A" to tc
-- set backcolor of line deline of fld "A" to tc
-- set backColor of first word of line deline of fld "A" to "black"
end repeat
unlock screen; unlock messages
end mouseUp
