I couldn't get that idea to work. Would you attach a changeset?<br>
<br>
In any case, another simple but maybe less comfortable solution is
to enclose the result in double quotes, making it comment.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

to do that because the output is not Smalltalk code, so

<div dir="auto">I’ll try NeoEuler. It would be nice to
have fallback fonts too… some math glyphs are
missing in DejaVu… but it’s not a big deal. Another
minor aesthetic problem is that the syntax
highlighter sometimes gets confused with the output
of printIt, perhaps would be better to not apply
syntax highlighting to the output, or to have the
option to “lock” the output text in some printOn:
methods so that the syntax highlighter doesn’t
change it (perhaps a new attribute? not sure if this
makes sense). Also sometimes the underscores are not
converted to arrows in a workspace, perhaps this is
related to the syntax highlighter getting confused.</div>

<div>BTW, in case anyone is curious, here

scale them down if they are too big.</div>
<div>I did this because it was hard to
make matrices look good when printing
them as text, so instead I draw them on
a form and embed the form when printing
them. I only do this with matrices, they
are especially problematic when printing
because they print with more than one
line, they are the only objects in my
system that need more than one line for
printing. When I printed them as text
with more than one line, printing a list
of matrices (for example an array of
matrices, as in the example where I
print a basis of a vector space in the
screenshots) they would look horrible.
Now a list of matrices is printed in a
single line as expected, and the point
size of the enclosing parentheses is
adjusted automatically (I have messages
Stream>>#withParentheses:,
#withBrackets:, #withAngleBrackets:,
etc, that do this automatically).</div>

The easiest solution is to use a different

NeoEuler parentheses are much lighter at large
point sizes.<br>

I guess this should be fixable. If you can
prepare an image with such example for me to
play with, I'll give it a try. For example
(not sure if related) VectorEngine can do
blending over translucent backgrounds, but
only if subpixel sampling is used. I know,
there is no relation between these two
features... But I wanted to keep options to a
small number, and usually we only use cheaper
whole pixel AA and cheaper alpha blending that
can't blend over translucent backgrounds. So,
maybe just using the SubPixel engine solves
this problem, or I'll be happy to take a look.<br>
