Is it possible to display different text than what is stored in the backing store based on parsing?

For example, assuming a markdown parser:

Raw Text: **Markdown** 

Visual Text: Markdown

 

Thanks

Hi David,

Based on your recent questions, it sounds like you might be looking for a WYSIWYG editor instead of a code editor, which is what SyntaxEditor is.  But to answer your question, you can use a technique like our "Collapsed Regions - Advanced" QuickStart, which shows how to collapse a region of text and replace it with an adornment, that could be a text sequence.  The whole adornment would be selectable as a whole.

Not truly WYSIWYG, or at least not for the whole text. I am looking to improve the non-code blocks of text. For example, formatting the comments between code blocks such that the headers are richly formatted.

I will take a look at the adornments.

Thanks

The latest build of this product (v24.1.2) was released 2 days ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
