How to style a yaml file? - styles

I have a yaml file from which pdf files are created in my system- I don´t really know the first thing about yaml, but have hacked the file enough to get what I want.
Now I need to write bold text inside a line of normal text, but yaml writes normal html tags as text...so hence my question...How could I write bold text inside a line of normal text?
I have read about css styling but I haven´t got this far yet.
thanks for any tips,
Rob

Why won't my .stl file show the correct information in a text editor?

I am quite new to work working with .stl files and in my research, I found they can be opened in a text editor where faces and vertices were clearly written out and easy to read. However, whenever I download a .stl file and open it with a text editor, I get a series of random characters. The same thing happens when I take a .blend file and export it to a .stl file. In spite of this, the .stl files still render correctly. I have attached a picture of what my problem looks like. If anyone could help me out, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

New to coding etc. and I'm trying to create a small mod for a game called Megaton Rainfall, I'm 90% sure the code I want to change/mod is in my scripts.fcm file but I can't figure out how to change it to readable text. I've switched the encoding to every different kind and it still remains unreadable. Please help if there is a way :) thanks!
Rather than opening in Notepad++ try opening in another text editor such as Vim, Sublime or Notepad. This should then be "readable text"

How to add ton of text (using TextView) to content (Android studio)?

I'm just started to programming in android studio and need to add a ton of text, but if I just paste all the text in the text field of the TextView component, then I get a mess. Tried to insert in the code of .xml, correcting paragraphs, but all the same it turns out not that. Therefore, several questions arose:
What is the most correct way to add a ton of text to the content? (Please refer to the details)
How can I make the text inserted correctly, with paragraphs, etc.? (Ie so that they are observed)?
All of this question's about ton of text.
Thank you very much in advance!
You can add all your text in a .doc file, format it in the way you want, then in your code, you load this file and output it to your TextView.
You need to make sure you import this file as an asset in your project or either load it from the device storage.
Please check this SO post: How to read .doc file?

Is there any ascii inline editor I can use on my webserver?

Perhaps I'm over thinking this but I don't seem to be able to find a simple, trivial way to edit a file inline on a webpage.
I need to allow users to edit files stored on the system (linux router). One page per file is totally acceptable to me.
This page would load the content of a text file in a text area, where at the bottom a Save button saves the content of the text into the file.
That's all. No security needed, no multi user, no login what so ever.
All the inline editor I can find out there are rich-text or WYSIWYG which I don't need and they actually might mess up the file content with unwanted tags.
Can anybody please point me in the right direction on how to implement such an editor? No ajax or funky things needed really, just a text area and a save button.

I want to change the way text is represented internally in ANY Text Editor

I want to use a algorithm to reduce memory used to save the particular text file.I don't really know how text is stored but i have an idea in mind.
Would it be better to extend a open source text editor (if yes than which one) or write a text editor myself.
It would be nice if someone could also give me a link or tutorial to some basics on how text editors work and the way data is stored.
Edited to add
To clarify, what I wanted to do is instead of saving duplicates of a word make a hash table and store the address where it needs to be placed.
That way I wouldn't be storing the duplicates.
This would have become specific to a particular text editor.
Update
thanks everyone I got what all of you'll are trying to say. Anyways all i wanted to do is instead of saving duplicates of a word make a hash table and store the address where it needs to be placed.
This was i wouldn't be storing the duplicates.
Yes and this would have become specific to a particular text editor. never realized that.

If you did this you would no longer have a text editor, but instead you would have created some sort of binary file editor.
The whole point of the text file format is that it is universal, meaning any text file can be open in any other text editor.
Emacs handles compression transparently. Just create a text file with .gz extension. Emacs will automatically compress contents of the file during save operation, and decompress when you open the file next time.
Text is basically stored as-is. i.e., every character takes up a byte or two (wide chars), and there is no conversion done on it when it's saved. It might add an end-of-file character or something though. Don't try coming up with your own algorithm to compress these files. That's why zip-files and other archives were created. They're really good at compressing text. If you wanted to add these feature to your text-editor, you'd have to add some sort of post-save hook to zip it, and then put a hook on the open command to unzip it. Unless you wanted to do it by hand every time. Don't try writing the text editor yourself from scratch, unless (maybe) you're writing notepad. Text editors with syntax highlighting aren't very easy to make, even with the proper libraries. I'd say write a plugin for something like Visual Studio or what have you. Or find an open-source text editor.
