For example, capitalizing all text from the middle of one field to the
middle of another field is prohibited.
Editing text fields are created by the @code{editable-field} widget.
Editable text fields are created by the @code{editable-field} widget.
An editable fields must be surrounded by static text on both sides, that
is, text that does not change in the lifetime of the widget. If the
field extend to the end of the line, the terminating line-feed character
will count as the necessary static text on that end, but you will have
to provide the static text before the field yourself. The
@code{:format} keyword is useful for generating the static text; for
instance, if you give it a value of @code{"Name: %v"}, the "Name: " part
will count as the static text.
The editing text fields are highlighted with the
@code{widget-field-face} face, making them easy to find.
