You can quickly toggle white text on a boxed article, or on a single frame, with a single click.

On the following screenshot on the left side you see the original article as it was before the toggling of the white text. Please notice that the article is boxed and that the all frames of the article, including box are selected. On the right side you can see the same article after we applied the white text, by pressing SHIFT+W, or by selecting Toggle White Text on the Articles menu (Pages main tab).

To apply white text on an entire article with a single click, the following prerequisites are needed:

1.The article needs to be boxed, ie. to have an outer box, and the box and all article elements have to be selected. Press SHIFT+A to select article and its outer box, or drag a marquee around all.

2.The formats, that are in use on the article elements, must have a 'white pair'. Example: if a format named body is applied on the text, there has to exist the body-W format, which by default paints the text as white. The same for all other elements, e.g. head, pull quote, kicker etc.

To apply white text on a single article elements, only the prerequisite #2 is needed.

Notes

•The script that performs above operation is ToggleBlackStyle.

•The -W suffix that denotes "white formats" is configurable. Use the glbReverseFormatSuffix global overridable variable to specify yours preferred suffix if you don't like the default -W. Add that variable to the EditorialConfig and enter the suffix you want. See Edit EditorialConfig to learn about how to edit the EditorialConfig. See Adding or overriding variables in your EditorialConfig for instructions on how to add or modify variables.

Improvements in version 1.6.1920 and newer

•SHIFT + W will work also with the frames formatted by "white formats" even if the selection does not contain a box, and it will restore the "normal" formats. Use it for the articles that remained with the "white formats" because unlinked or deleted from pages.

•If the appropriate "white format" does not exist, the script won't apply black background and it will display only one error message, and not one for every selected frame, as it used to do before.
