1. What is the status on table support in TLF (TextArea and RichEditableText) ?

2. Is it scheduled for the next release?

3. Has anyone done any work on an XSLT for converting between TextFlow's XML and XHTML?

4. Has anyone done any work on an interface for RichEditableText that is similar to mx:RichTextEditor?

Thanks for your time. Any info or links you can post would be appreciated.

@VerityCrux,

1. TLF doesnt currently support the <table> tag. You can create some simple pseudo tables using tabstops though if you want column-based content.

2. Not sure of the planned table support. You may want to ask on the TLF forums http://forums.adobe.com/community/opensource/tlf

3. There are various importers/exporters to convert between TLF, plain text, and HTML. This may help http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/07/25/exporting-a-textflow-object-in-flex-4/

4. You can see a rough example of a RichEditableText-esque control based on the Spark TextArea/RichEditableText at the URL above or also at http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/07/24/creating-a-simple-text-editor-using-the-spark-textarea-control-in-flex-4/. I didn't test it very thoroughly, but you're free to take all the code and modify it as much as you want.

Hope that helps,

Peter
