Information About

Waste Text Engine




WASTE is a memory-based editor, which places no limit on the amount of text being edited, (up to available system memory). It supports the Macintosh WorldScript system, allowing it to handle double-byte and bidirectional scripts. It included automatic support for undo operations, Drag And Drop editing, Text Justification , embedding images into text, and low-level hooks for rendering and measuring text.

Under version 2.0, WASTE gained the ability to support paragraph-level formatting, additional character styles, multiple undo/redo, Unicode translation, and Mac OS X Carbon support, as well as providing new API s for printing and string matching.

WASTE is a popular 3rd party library that has found its way into many Macintosh applications, formerly under Mac OS and now under Mac OS X, including (the Macintosh versions of) Netscape , Internet Explorer , Microsoft Entourage , and many others.

WASTE was created by Marco Piovanelli.
