Small Project: using textpad, insert generated text
Purpose
Using TextPad to log projects or task progress. Need to insert calendar into the editing text file.Investigation
- addon - just an console external tool
- macros - recorded actions
- clips - .tcl, but it's not tcl code. just some format with pre-defined text.
Conclusion
With TextPad, only possibility to achieve the goal is to use addon. Create custom addon to output calendar, and running it will output to a separate document window. And just copy and paste the generated text. It's not ideal, but there is no way to manipulate existing text.Misc
