Lua dialog capability questions

[advice2020]

I was thinking about some ideas, but first I had some questions about Lua dialogs in DC that I was wondering if you guys would be able to answer.

DC offers the following Lua dialogs
Dialogs.InputQuery
Dialogs.InputListBox

DC LUA DIALOG QUESTIONS

1. Can different fonts be used?

2. Can different font sizes be used?
   I know CSS/QSS can be used to alter fonts but was just wondering if this can be done in Lua specifically.

3. Can hotkeys be setup in Lua script?
   For example in a Dialogs.InputListBox dialog
   can Right Arrow key be assigned Select/Open/Run/ Set/ etc.
   the selected/highlighted item from a list of items?

New Question
4) I have asked this already but, I could have sworn that Lua dialog boxes (input, listbox) could be resized in the past?
I unfortunately do not have any old versions/AppImages to test this out to verify.
I kind of even thought that DC dialogs could be adjusted as well, such as the MakeDir dialog for creating new folders.
For a while now, I have noticed that no dialogs can be resized?

GITHUB FORMATTING QUESTIONS
Hope okay, I thought I would also sneak in a couple of Github formatting questions as well.
A) I think another user mentioned that this was possible but do not know how to do this.
Sometimes might want to post code that is very long, is there a way to paste longer code in a code box that contains a scroll bars so text/post is not overly long.

B) Still cannot seem to get bold text to work, does this work for anyone else?
I have read in the past that this feature was broken, but that was a while ago, hard to believe this is not fixed.
I have tried adding ** stars, __ double underscore, <b>, and even <strong> prefix and suffix and none of them seem to work.

Thank You

these dialogs use default gtk/qt/win32/carbon fonts/hotkeys and have no way to change the behavior on the lua side

dunno about the scrollbar, but you can hide it like this

<details><summary>wall of text</summary>

...

</details>

**bold text**

# even bolder

Are you missing the spaces?

Thank you guys for the responses.

Ahh okay so none of these are possible with Lua.
Thank You

I added a fourth question to my post above, sorry forgot one.

GITHUB
Again about asking this on this page, but thank you guys for answering.
Funny, okay so it is not just me having difficulty trying to type in / explain these codes :)
I knew of that link already, I am aware of the "header" based items already, those seem to work fine, it is always just the bold one that does not work.
I do not see bold text when this is applied, do you guys?
I typed this normal **apple** normal below and it does not seem to make "apple" text bold
normal apple normal

Thanks again

It appears correct (ie bold) for me so the problem is with your browser.

Ahh thank you, that is strange, yeah does not show up for me.

@Skif-off
Thank you

Question 4 above
Does anyone remember this actually being possible or is it just me.
In the past I had that dialog issue where it cut the right side of dialog off, that turned out to be a Lazarus issue.
I think I remember adjust the width of the dialog to temporarily fix / see the text again.
But in general I thought DC dialogs and DC Lua dialogs could be adjusted.
Does anyone know if older AppImages are stored somewhere on DC site? Probably not do not think would archieve every snapshot made.
Just wanted to test this out in older version.

i think you either misremember something, or you encountered some wierd window manager/lazarus bug. irrc inputlistbox code has been using bsDialog for the last 11 years at least, which should prohibit window resizing, and inputquery is a standard lazarus dialog

Ahh thank you for confirming.
