I am trying to save user's bold/italic/font/etc tags in a GtkTextView. Using GtkTextBuffer.get_text() does not return the tags.
The best documentation I have found on this is: http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtktextbuffer.html#method-gtktextbuffer--register-serialize-format
However, I do not understand the function arguments. It would be infinitely handy to have an example of how these are used to save/load a textview with tags in it.
Edit: I would like to clarify what I am trying to accomplish. Basically I want to save/load the textview's text+tags. I have no desire to do anything more complicated than that. I am using pickle as the file format, so I dont need any help here on how to save it or in what format. Just need a way to pull/push the data so that the user loses nothing that he/she sees on screen. Thank you.
