scripting challenge: Large/Smaller text size

[Claudi Cornaz]

woooooow,

I realy feel humble. I have been working on a text menu with bigger 
smaller as one of the features.
I have been working on it quite a while. I have got it working but now 
as I see these
bautifull and elegant solutions, I can start all over again. (putting a 
couple of checks in of course so not to make
text smaller then 7 pts which gives strange results and a pref for how 
to proceed when  the smallest size in the
selected text reaches 7pts, stopping or leaving that part at 7 pts and 
making the rest smaller)

There are so many ways to do things in runrev and it's very enlightning 
to see how the pros
tackle a problem. One of the best ways to learn for me (and others as 
well I guess)

Couldn't we have chalenges like this, let's say once a week or once a 
month? My guess is that
a lot of people could realy benefit from these chalenges/examples.

In my own solution I used matchChunk to get at all the font tags with a 
size attribute, which
also works but uses a lot more code and altough reaseably fast not in a 
long shot like the code of Mark.

One advantage of all my toiling though, I learned a bit about regex, I 
am not completly confused by it anymore.

Very humbly and awe strikken
