Testing various aspects of the above made me realize that one can do
without the << >> characters in the styled text to plain text conversion:
set styled_text to the clipboard -- assuming styled text on clipboard
set {text:plain_text} to styled_text
plain_text --> yup, plain text
Actually, this is far nicer than the "<<class ktxt>> ... as record" thing
because it doesn't error on plain text:
set { text : x } to styled_text -- x == plain text
set { text : y } to plain_text -- y == plain text
P.S. set a to {1, 2, 3}
set {length:len, rest:res, reverse:rev} to a
len --> 3
res --> {2, 3}
rev --> {3, 2, 1}
Fun, but not apparently useful. ;-)
