Weekly reports on my Google Summer of Code project would be shared on this thread
Closing this thread to limit this to the weekly reports. @yashhh Feel free to open a second thread for feedback if you like.
Week 1 (13 June - 20 June)
-
Understood the Operators used for editing font

Started working on the Toggle operator to change the state of selected text.
Plans for the coming week:
Make an algorithm to check the state of selected text.
Week 2 (20 June - 27 June)
- Completed the task to implement buttons to toggle the state of selected text.
- The buttons can now make changes to the selected text(i.e. change it to bold,italic,underline and small caps)

Week 3 (27 June - 4 July)
- The previous version of updated buttons(Week 2) for bold, italics ,underline and small caps worked only in the presence of selected text .
- Combined the default function of the buttons to set the next character to the selected state along with changing the state of selected text.

Week 6 (18 July - 25 July)
