Text() tags and delete()

[Bob Greschke]

Does Text.delete(0.0, END) delete all of the tags too? Everything says it
does not delete marks, but nothing about tags.

Thanks!

Note to everyone else: this is a TKinter question.

Tags are attached to text ranges, in the Text widget. If you delete all
of the text in the widget, all of the text ranges will go poof, so
therefore all of the tag attachments will likewise go poof.

This will not delete any tags that have been defined for the widget,
though, although why you'd want to do that is an open question.

Oops. I meant to put that in the subject.

That's what I thought, and that was what it looked like was happening (but
just because you can't find something doesn't mean it hasn't been taken to
the garbage

We have all kinds.

Thanks, Christopher!
