Salut Daniel, In french, it's easier for me. I prefer create a basic pattern element (here, with a circle), apply an object style and duplicate it. That give me much more controls on the pattern: can be anything! ... View more

3 steps: 1/ prepare the shape. 2/ create the pattern: make the first element (for this, use an object style so that you can easily modify it) and duplicate x times (H and V), to have a "complex pattern". 3. Copy the pattern, select the shape and "paste within" (in French: "coller dedans"). Done! ... View more

HI, ID can do a lot of things (but not coffee!). If you begin with this: … want to do that: … have several actions on the pattern and the shape, directly with ID elements, e.g., as: … you can do it easily.  ... View more

Hi, As I suppose you want to do it at the beginning of your work, you need to go to the washing machine. About the first problem, it's easy. The following are more interesting. I treat it as: Search:  (?<=\d)I+|I+(?=\d) Replace by:  1 Difficult to find: "I've liked II with George Clooney!"  ... but you can extend the research with a global grep style to find this type of occurrence. ...

Hi, When we make a regex (grep search/replace), we often use code between (). Grep calls this "sous-expression marquante" (in french). If we write two "sous-expressions marquantes" as: (January)(\s0), in the replace input box, $1 reproduce "January", the first instance between (), (any space + zero) can be reproduced by $2. So if I finally choose "$1~S, that means: I replace (January) by: January (the () are forgotten) and ~S is the grep syntax of an nonbreaking space. (\s0), so (any space + zero), is not taken into account and finally non treated. So, if I search: "January 0", when I find it, I replace it by: "January " (here, the space is a nonbreaking space (better for what you want!). I suggest you to read all what you can find on Grep. With JavaScript and imagination, you have the 3 more important tools to work fine!  ... View more

Peter, I appreciate the term "workable solution"!    Totally agree with you! ... View more

Peter, We're totally wrong about the little "bug" (top of the page). It can be fixed by: Totally normal because the "Title" para style I use has a leading of... 0 pt! So, here, It's finally an interesting alternative! ... View more

Peter, I agree with you: I myself would have used Salah's method. I use a [Javascript] that makes it (much better and much more complicated: it can add a vertical thread of the kind hug with gradient and shadow or anything else as thread, adapting it to the height of the text in the anchored block)! The [JS] searches all the para with a para style given and make the work. Here, it's totally "magical"  ... View more

Peter, Always magical! The last secret: Title para style have nested lines styles! Like this: I've created 5 char styles for 5 lines. ... View more

Hi, It is indeed magical!  This night, I accidentally closed the ID file without saving it!  but Peter has almost found! [Peter, to finish, try with several blue lines!] Regarding the small bug in top, Peter is quite right! but just enlarge upwards the text block to catch up! ... View more

Hi Kai, Cool! Works very fine!  ... View more

A little comment: maybe the script does not need to include the first line (its leading does not need to change). ... View more

Kai, Great! Works fine for me! I'm sure Aleko will be glad!  ... View more

Hi Kaï, Excellent!  This script would be even better if it is based on ID prefs incrementing settings and takes account any leading (auto or not). ... View more

Hi, It's easy to do it: Put the point insertion in the last line of the paragraph and then, until the 1st line of the paragraph is selected, play (on MAC): Cmd-Shift-§ Alt-Down arrow Shift-Up arrow Alt-Down arrow Shift-Up arrow Alt-Down arrow Shift-Up arrow Alt-Down arrow Shift-Up arrow Alt-Down arrow Shift-Up arrow Alt-Down arrow Shift-Up arrow Alt-Down arrow Shift-Up arrow Alt-Down arrow Shift-Up arrow Alt-Down arrow Shift-Up arrow ...
