- It seems we're getting close. I know the tiff's for the lines have both 24bit
- and 2bit color representations in them. It seems like the text does too. But
- does anyone know how to do this? The following bit of RTF is what happens in
- the NeXT Help File:
-
- {\colortbl;\red0\green0\blue0;\red56\green70\blue144;\red85\green85\blue85;}
- \pard\tx720\tx1080\tx1440\tx1800\tx2160\tx2520\tx2880\tx3240\tx3600\tx3960\tx43

- \b0\i0\fs20\gray333\fc2\cf2 (Click a topic to learn about it)
- \b\fs36\gray0\fc1\cf1
- \f1\b0\fs16 \
-
- Both "Index" and "(Click a topic to learn about it)" are displayed in either
- blue or dark gray depending on the window depth. Wouldn't it be great if you
- could have different depth representations of an RTF file in Edit and be able
- to switch between them, like in IconBuilder?
-
- Anyway, if anyone knows how to generate this RTF (besides by hand) I'd like to
- know.
-
- Thanks,
