[urwid] Overwrite Text Attr with AttrWrap.

[Thomas Schüßler]

Hi, I'm trying to get a ListBox working where text items with text
markup should highlight a part of the text (bold).
I can't figure out how to get this working so that the line that has the
focus gets a uniform background color even behind those highlighted
substrings.
Am I missing something here?

Heres an example:

In your AttrMap use a dict in the last parameter to specify the
mapping you want for things that already have attributes. i.e. instead
of

, 'item_focus')

try:

, {None: 'item_focus', 'highlight': 'highlight_focus'})

You'll need to add that 'highlight_focus' entry to your palette as well.

(I hope I'm not double posting this, the web form at gmane.org gave me
some errors and after hours there was no post in the list)

Thanks Ian, I knew I missed something :)

For the books, here's the corrected example:

And here's the tool I'm working on:

It's the first time I'm using Urwid so I might do things the wrong way
here and there.
