In the rich text field I choose Full alignment, but when previewed the text has left alignment. When I close and reopen the document, the text is brought back to left alignment.
How can this be resolved?
If I understand you correctly, you have a Notes Form with a Rich Text field, in which you align the text "justified", as in the screenshot below:
But if you view that in a Xpage, the text is no longer justified, neither in the read-only rendering, nor in the edit-rendering with the CKEditor:
Alas, if you align the text justified via the CKEditor, it renders properly in the browser
with an "interesting" rendering in the Notes Client:
This is a "known" problem and in my demo case, the Xpages runtime engine even warns me about that:
"Saving this document will change its format from native Notes rich text to HTML. This may cause a change or loss of formatting if opened again in the regular Notes client."
The conversion of rich text to HTML and vice versa is not the whole problem, even though the message says that. There are also issues with repeated conversions back and forth changeing font sizes, loss of certain colors and styles, etc.
This is a long standing issue with Ben Langhinrichs, who documents that rather thoroughly and even sells an extension to handle that conversions better.
Hope this helps a little bit.
I am using v8.5.3 and in the All Properties of the CKeditor they have a property called 'htmlConversion Warning' that you can set to 'noWarning' which seems to prevent the Saving this document message mentioned above. Seems someone from IBM has taken a note from Microsoft on providing a solution. Now if only they would take a note from them on how to market the product.

I would like to automatically generate calendar pages with very specific information and a very specific layout and ideally have all pages in a single document (can be PDF, doesn't have to be). For they layout of the boxes, text placement etc. I would like to be able to control the geometry very precisely so it's the same on every page and reproducible.
I could create SVG with exact dimensions, but I'm not sure about the part where I actually turn it into a document for printing.
With LaTeX I can most likely generate what I would like to have, but am unsure whether I have precise enough control over the dimensions of all my elements.
Creating Postscript or even a PDF "from scratch" seems a little too intimidating.
I know there may be more than one solution to this, but I'm happy to explore several options and see what works best with my experience.
How do you change the text within the extension library dialog box? No matter what I do, the text remains the same size. I can see the font change in the designer cleint but not in the browser. I tried looking at it with IE Developer Tools but I can't even see the text anywhere.
I have no idea what was going on yesterday but it just wasn't working. I was simply trying to set the text size of a computed field inside a dialog box. I changed the font size in the properties of the computed field and seems to work now, We have seen these issues on our dev server before.
I am not sure if you can change the text with text options but you can if you use HTML, and it should also work with CSS.
Standard <h1><h2><h... oh you get the idea works for me.
I have a requirement to use multiple font style in UITextView. Like Bold, Italic and Underline text in single Textview. Like:
One word is Bold second may be italic third Underline as per user selection.
I don't think this is allowed to do but still if any one have achieved and want to share. I need this all while enter text and same while displaying.
Thanks
You're right that the standard UITextView does not support rich editing. At the moment there are a few solutions to the problem.
The Omni Group has released their iOS and Mac frameworks under an open source license. These include a very powerful rich text editor (see: OUIEditorFrame.m). These are very powerful but also extremely complex. Their sample iPad app includes the rich text editor example. Further discussion can be found here
Secondly, this guy has been working on a custom rich text editing control and is offering it under a negotiable licensing agreement.
Finally, you can do it all yourself and create an editor control that implements the UITextInput protocol. Aside from the Apple documentation, there are some tips on doing this here.
Why don't you use attributed string and use its property to set the string as you like.

Can the browser feature of Ctrl+F to find text be integrated with text in popup windows.
I'd like to have some scientific reference information given when someone hovers over a species name in a web page. Generating the popup, tooltip style text is no problem, the problem is that anyone using Ctrl+F won't be able to find it, or if I position the text out of view when not required, it will be found but be invisible.
The same sort of effect applies to "accordion" style expanding text areas.
I'm looking for some sort of event generated when find is highlighting a result.
Unfortunately there is no such event, you can't interfere with the built-in find.
About the best you can do in this case is to provide your own search function in-page, which searches the DOM for Text nodes containing the given text, highlights them, and opens up any closed accordions they're in.
The only idea I have, is to put all the text from your popups in one additional scrollbox (maybe at the bottom of the page) with a height just large enough to display one set of detail information at a time. This way, it doesn't take up too much space on the page, and the text can still be found using Ctrl+F.
I have a Sharepoint list, where one of the columns is plain text - Description. When you edit a list item, Description field is normally a TextArea. I have it programmed that this TextArea is extended with JavaScript to accept rich text (html really), so I have my custom rich text field. The problem is that when I input the rich data everything looks fine but when I save the edited item and then display it, the text is displayed as plain text, not html, so instead of a bold text I get "< b >text< /b >". And I would like it to be displayed as html. What can I do with it?
Edit: I don't want to use the built-in editor, because I need some different behavious.
The code that reads in the text input from the form and saves it to the list will be doing a HTMLEncode operation that replaces
< with <
> with >
and so on (look at the source of the page after a save)
This occurs 'server side' so you won't be able to change this using JavaScript.
You've got two options I think
As F5 mentioned you can create a custom field type with your own behaviour for rendering and update. This is the 'correct' way to do this.
You could change your funky javascript to work on a rich text field, hack into the rendering of the built in RTE and replace it with your own.
Of cource as soon as you are taking input from a user and then rendering it back to your web page you open yourself up to all sorts of nasties such as Cross Site Scripting if you are not filtering out potential bad stuff (the very reason why the HtmlEncode is used) - less of a problem in a typical SharePoint site on an Intranet than a public facing site.
SharePoint supports rich text columns using its own in-built editor. You just have to change the column settings so it allows rich text.
If you are using a JavaScript editor because of browser compatability with the built-in rich text editor then SharePoint will always strip the html from whatever is entered as it expects the input to be plain text.
Re your comments
If you want the field to display in rich text it needs to be a rich text field, by setting it to plain text you are always going to lose your custom formatting.
You need to look into custom field types
So where exactly are the data being displayed incorrectly: on the List Display Form or on a Page Layout? If it's on the Page Layout the fix is easy: create a custom Field Control which will retrieve the value of the field (like SPContext.Current.ListItem["YourField"]) and decode the contents to get HTML instead of encoded HTML entities.
