Problem I've showed you how to apply styles to GtkTextView / GtkTextBuffer (e.g. bold, italic, underline, font color and highlight) in How to apply styles to GtkTextView using GtkTextTag - Part 1?
This article shows you how to toggle these styles on and off using the same format buttons as shown below.
Note: This sample code in this article is contributed by Dysmas. It's a follow-up of another sample code contributed by him: How to have a popup textview for editing of long text?
Solution
- First we need to test if there's any existing style within user's highlighted text with the following methods:
- If there is no style applied, we add the style with GtkTextbuffer::apply_tag().
- If the style is already there, we remove it with GtkTextbuffer::remove_tag().

Explanation We make use of the code in How to set up toolbar? to display the toolbar.
What's new here:
- Selection already contains the style?
- Yes, remove it.
- No, apply the style.
Note
The sample code above only performs bold. When you press the bold button on a "bolded" text, it doesn't unbold. We will improve on this in Part 2.
