Custom cleaners are composed of properties, an action list, and a data table. Workspace : represents your custom cleaner. And type in the filter field to quickly find the action you are looking for. You can choose between showing “All” actions, just core “Actions” or just “Cleaners”. Cleaners, which are themselves actions, are also listed here. Custom Cleaner EditorĪction toolbox : contains the list of actions available. The custom cleaner (CC) editor has some key components. Editor Overviewīefore getting started, a quick walk through of the new interface is in order. As the macOS frameworks we rely on do not currently support RTF with stylesheets, TextSoap is unable to support maintaining them. Note: Microsoft Word text may also use Stylesheets to format it. TextSoap can perform the style changes selectively based on the underlying text. This is useful if you need to strip out existing styling like bold or italic, adjust the font, or size. This means that bold words stay bold, italic words remain italic, and underlining, fonts and text color stays intact, even as the text is updated.Īdditionally, TextSoap allows changing the underlying (character-level) format of the text. You can make text change actions on rich text and TextSoap will attempt to maintain the existing character styles from the original text. When working with rich text, the text formatting (style) of the text plays an additional role. TextSoap supports changing both plain text and rich text. Another example might be to apply another cleaner (either built-in or custom), and then add additional actions, allowing you to build on existing cleaners. This action can include regular expressions, a powerful text matching syntax. For example, you can use a “Find and Replace” text action to set up an automated find and replace on given text. Custom Cleaner Editor What is a Custom Cleaner?Ī custom cleaner is one or more user-defined actions that can be applied to text.
