![]() Over time I’ve learned how to do more in HTML, and browser support for special characters has improved. I use HTML for displayed equations too when I can. This works pretty well, but it’s less than ideal. My rule is to only use LaTeX-generated images for displayed equations and not for math symbols in the middle of a sentence. Send your story ideas to LaTeX document looks better than an HTML document, but an HTML document looks better than an awkward hybrid of HTML and inline images created by LaTeX. If it's representation then it's the nerd and that's not who we are.'įollow BBC East Midlands on Facebook, on Twitter, or on Instagram. 'Teenagers don't really feel represented,' Lowri said. ![]() She is launching her latest campaign to coincide with World Sight Day. The company responded by inviting Lowri to accompany them to the Baftas, where their latest film Encanto - which features a glasses-wearing heroine - was honoured.

Featuring McGugan boxes and amazing docs. The next release of Textual will land on 10/24 (24th of October in US format, or '1KB day'). Here's an example of McGugan Boxes being used in a Textual demo: I'd like 'Inventor of McGugan boxes' to be inscribed on my tombstone. If no prior art emerges, I'm calling this technique 'McGugan Boxes'. How can that be possible? Surely every combination of unicode characters in the terminal has been tried? But I haven't seen it done like this in the wild. It's been possible to display boxes like this for a while (literally decades). It's easy to imaging how you can extend this box to larger sizes, and surround other text. © 2022 Will McGugan A box with no color bleeding.Ī box with independent inside and outside colors which doesn't violate the 'two colors per character rule'. ![]() Make a box with only those 4 characters (you can create copies and change colors). It's like one of those irritating puzzles. I don't know why it didn't occur to me before. Without corners it is not possible to render a full box with independent inside and outside colors. © 2022 Will McGugan Can you arrange these to form a box? Unicode contains one eighth vertical and horizontal blocks which are fantastic for displaying terminal progress bars with apparently higher 'resolution' that a single character. Textual added the ability to use entirely different characters when rendering boxes. So background colors are always going to bleed outside of the apparent edge. Consequently you can't set the color inside of the border independently of the color outside of the border. There is a background color and a foreground color. © 2022 Will McGugan Your basic terminal box.Įach character in a terminal has exactly 2 colors. I've blown up a small box in this sketch: The background color leaks outside of the border line. Look what happens when you set a background color: They work like lego: throw them together in the right order and you can display exotic things such as panels and tables at the command prompt.īut there is a problem. With a mixture of regular, heavy, and double lines. There are characters for vertical lines, horizontal lines, corners, and cross pieces. Rich is full of them, but they predate Rich by a long time.ĬLI apps will typically use box drawing characters to build boxes out of unicode characters. As bizarre as that sounds.īoxes in the terminal are not new. I may even have come up with with an entirely new way of drawing boxes in the terminal. I get a kick out of being creative within the limitation of the terminal. A new way of drawing boxes in the terminal (possibly)
