The RTF producer and parser lacked support for text lists, failed to encode
non-ASCII characters properly (\uN), and treated first-line indents (\fi) as
absolute values rather than offsets relative to left indents (\li).
Additionally, paste operations ingested application-generated RTF rather than
the native internal archive, causing image attachments and tables to be stripped
during copy-paste workflows within the application.
* AppKit/CPTextView/_CPRTFProducer.j:
- Implement RTF serialization for text lists using list tables, override tables,
\levelmarker, \levelprepend, \lsN\ilvlK tags, and \listtext marker blocks.
- Encode non-ASCII characters via \uc0\uN syntax and compute \fi indents
relative to \li.
- Omit image attachment characters from text runs and adjust run starting indices
to accommodate list markers.
* AppKit/CPTextView/_CPRTFParser.j:
- Implement pre-pass parsing for list and override tables.
- Assign shared text lists to items using \ls and \ilvl, extracting marker formats
from \levelmarker or standard number/level definitions.
- Parse \uN sequences (skipping fallback characters) and evaluate relative \fi offsets.
* AppKit/CPTextView/CPTextView.j:
- Configure paste handling to prioritize internal archives when clipboard RTF
originates from the application, ensuring image attachments and tables survive internal copy-paste.
* AppKit/CPTextView/_CPTableTextAttachment.j:
- Implement keyed archiving and decoding for table headers, rows, widths,
and configuration settings, reconstructing cell instances upon unarchiving.
* Tests/AppKit/CPRTFTest.j:
- Add comprehensive unit tests covering Unicode encoding, relative first-line indents,
TextEdit and Word list interoperability, and nested list round-trip fidelity.
* Tests/AppKit/CPTextAttachmentTest.j:
- Add test coverage for table attachment archiving.
* Tests/Manual/TextEditor/WORKLIST.md:
- Mark intra-application copy and paste testing as completed.
- Log external rich text exchange limitations as open items.
Intra-application copy and paste now fully preserves images, tables, and lists,
while RTF serialization supports Unicode and structured hierarchical lists.
Replaced the CPTextView.j import with forward declarations for CPTextView and CPTextContainer (the latter previously reached via the removed import).
The previous import graph created a circular dependency (_CPTableTextAttachment.j -> CPTextView.j -> _CPRTFParser.j / _CPRTFProducer.j -> _CPTableTextAttachment.j).
This caused the legacy compiler to emit a class registration warning during clean builds, as the class was unregistered at the time of resolution. Incremental builds masked this warning via cached symbol tables.
Using forward declarations breaks the cycle and ensures warning-free clean and incremental builds.
