Is there a way to support page & colum breaks when using multible
NSTextViews?
My application can put up to 3 views on page, variable number of
pages. The text flows from one NSTextView to another. Some of our
customers have been requesting groups of data (basically paragraphs)
not be broken up over page or column borders. Is there a simple way to
provide this (I search NSText documentation without any luck). If not,
is there a more complex way? I just paste the text into the view, so
normally do not even keep track of which TextView I am in.
A form feed character (NSFormFeedCharacter = 0xc) will act as a
container break--text after it will move to the next container, the
text system not knowing whether the container acts as a column or a
page. With some additional work you should be able to use this to get
what you want, but the details depend on exactly what you are
doing--e.g. whether your text is editable directly, how you create your
views, etc.
