I am currently working with CodeMirror 5 to build a hex editing app for some custom work. At the moment I am manually adding spaces after every fourth hex character to build columns into the app. That is a less-than-optimal solution and I was wondering if there was some way to do something similar to nth-of-type CSS styling? I was looking through the docs (for 5) and found ways to mark and style text but nothing that appears to let me add a style in the manner I am trying to do.
I’ve got no issues moving to 6 if that is necessary and I am also happy with being told that it isn’t possible
I can do it by adding a space after every fourth character but then that makes the rest of the app a bit of a PITA since I want mark specific 2 and 4 byte pairs.
I am trying to avoid having to write code to ignore the spaces I add and to also take them into consideration when I try to style, for example, characters 54 to 58
Ah, I see. Overlays can only add styling to text, so that doesn’t work. But you could write code that uses setBookmark to insert widgets that are rendered as a single space, and then make sure you update those as the document is changed.
