Hi All,

I’m experimenting with Luxor and wondering whether Luxor.textformat() has been removed.

It’s listed in the examples and the documentation but is missing from the alphabetical list at the end of the documentation and I’m unable to use it similar to the Luxor.text() function. It’s also missing from the method list at the end of the Luxor.text() documentation entry.

What am I missing?  
(The example code is from another post about animation, what is what I would like to do in the end…)

```julia
using Luxor

function draw(output, framenumber)
    # Settings
    x0 = 70
    y0 = 100
    background("black")
    sethue("darkgray")
    fontsize(15)
    fontface("Monaco")

    # Output
    txt = string(output[framenumber]) * " " * string(output[framenumber+1])
    Luxor.text(txt,
        Point(x0 - 100, y0 - 100),
        halign=:center)
    Luxor.textformat(
        (text="S", color=1),
        (text="-", color=0))
end

function frame(scene, framenumber)
    # Draw the figure
    draw(scene.opts, framenumber)
end

output = 100:150
movie = Movie(800, 800, "name_movie", 1:length(output)-1)

anim = Luxor.animate(movie,
    [Scene(movie, frame, easingfunction=easeinoutcubic, optarg=output)],
    framerate = 5,
    tempdirectory=string(@ __DIR__ , "/tmp/"),
    creategif=true,
    pathname=string(@ __DIR__ , "/video.gif"))

```

It’s hopefully going into the next release (4.0?) - it isn’t part of the current (3.8) release.
