Translate metadata to field content

[Ralph DiMola]

Wow! Being able to easily discern the number of lines in a wrapped field.
This question has been asked before "Line numbers for soft-wrapped styled
text?" but I don't remember formattedStyledText being one of the solutions.
Nice...

Bernd,
Thanks for the explanation

>From what I tested it behaves the same as formattedText. I.e. if you have
wrapped text in a field it will keep the wraps when transferring to another
field although the destination field is large enough to hold the text
unwrapped. Of course formattedText is on raw text and does not include
styling.

Whereas formattedText inserts returns at the wrapping formattedStyledText
inserts vertical tabs = ASCII 11.

Thus the number of lines returns the same value when using
formattedStyledText whereas formattedText increases the number of lines if
there is any wrapping.

Kind regards
