PROC [design:
CD.Design, cell:
CD.Object
← NIL, specialMode:
BOOL ←
FALSE, checkOnly:
BOOL ←
FALSE]
RETURNS [matches:
INT, errors:
INT];
-- Extract and check text by proximity, font and layer. Make properties for
-- the extracted texts.
-- Does not remove previous properties which dont contradict the extraction.
-- Only one level deep (not hierarchical)
-- If specialMode then texts are put as list of rope onto the $TextExtraction property
--Conventions
--Only texts in CD.commentLayer are considered
--Might be restricted to Tioga fonts
--Italic fonts are ignored
--Helvetica => property of an instance
--TimesRoman => property of the containing cell
--A text "foo: mumble" will result in the $foo property having the value "mumble"
--If no colon is found the property $SignalName is used
--In specialMode, a text "foo: mumble" will result in the rope "foo: mumble" beeing
--part of the list of rope value of the $TextExtraction property
