GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 590327
GtkTextBuffer should implement the GtkBuildable interface
Last modified: 2018-02-10 03:37:58 UTC
GtkTextBuffer should implement the GtkBuildable interface so text contents can be added from a gtkbuilder data file. Also, it could define a serialization/deserialization format, maybe using a default format as defined in gtktextbufferserialize.[ch] This support, along with GtkTextTag addition to GtkTextTagTable (bug 590326 and bug 589413 ) would allow to create rich text content using Glade.
Instead of setting a fixed serialization/deserialization format, at least it should allow to choose the internal tagset format (as in gtk_text_buffer_register_serialize_tagset and gtk_text_buffer_register_deserialize_tagset) or a custom one (with a way to register callback functions associated with a given format serializer/deserializer).
We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are closing bugs that haven't seen activity in more than 5 years. If this issue is still imporant to you and still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please consider creating a gitlab issue for it.
