Stenography- What are the limits? - limits

I'm working on a steno project and I managed to hide a text, image, sound file inside a cover image file.
However, I was wondering if I could do a combination of the three, ending with 9 files, each with hidden data in them.
However, I'm running into issues with the text file. I know on the cmd line you can do:
notepad new.txt:pass
and this will allow you to effectively hide a text within a text, but does this could as steno?
Also- is it possible to hide jpeg/mp3 in text?

Need a tool to automatically scale text size in textbox

I need to find a feature or tool that allows me to programmatically create a file in which I will have a sized textbox with text that automatically scales to fit its dimensions and still be visible.
Here is an example of what it would do:
On the left side, an already sized textbox has some text. The text is too long so it goes "out" the textbox, therefore the tool would "scale" it to a size that makes it visible only in the textbox, and not outside. It could scale by changing font size, or "zoom" in any way.
I tried looking at OpenOffice Writer & Impress, Microsoft Word & Powerpoint, with no success. It seems really difficult with CSS according to the resources I could find.
Some resources I found (like Fitty, which is in Javascript. Not what I need, but still possible) will scale it in other manners that do not correspond my needs because they keep the text on one line, and I need them multiline...
See some wrong examples:
Does anyone know any tool that would have such feature?

BIRT Report - Multiline text underlined to the full width

I'm trying to create a report with a layout as shown in the picture. The value of each field is underlined to the full width of the report. If it occupies more than one line each line is underlined. And there is also a short comment under the first line explaining the meaning of the field (shown in parentheses).
When we faced the same problem using JasperReports we had to create a custom component for that purpose. Does anyone know what the solution in BIRT might look like?
The only way I can think of is to calculate the line wrapping yourself, eg. converting your long text into a series of single lines.
Say you find a way to do this in a scripted data set, using the long text as an input.
You could then use a table item to render these single lines in the layout; using the bottom border to create the underlines (or possible an empty extra detail row with a top border and a height of 2pt to create nice line spacing).
Now how would this scripted data set look like?
I think when you study the source code of BIRT, you'll probably somewhere find a utility function that calculates the width (in whatever units) of a given text in a given font and size. Maybe this is also somewhere inside java.awt or inside iText (com.lowagie.text).
Then it is possible to call this function from inside Java Script and - with more or less logic - to use this as a basis for your scripted data set. But I think this will take a few hours to code.
If you manage to do this, it'd be nice if you post the solution here.

Firebug displays incorrect line numbers

I edited some files (CSS and PHP) on a website. Now Firebug (2.0.9) displays the same line number for every CSS rule within the Style side panel. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Firebug - no luck.
Even on this website, every rule I inspect says (line 1).
Anyone knows how I can get Firebug to display the correct line numbers again?
Since you say the changes were to the files, not to Firebug, I would say the issue is the CSS file and Firebug is reporting the line number correctly. That is to say there is no new lines in the file - all rules are on a single line.
Take a look at the .css file in a basic text editor and make sure the white space hasn't been removed. If it has, you may still see the text wrap and look to be on separate lines but this is just how the editor is showing it - word wrap can usually be turned on/off in editors.
If it looks like a big block of text then your CSS has been minified most likely.

How to create a text editor in with line numbers in a web app

I'm trying to create a text editor with line numbers, which increments with the lines increase. Well, my focus is to make the UI that will do good in Firefox OS as a privilege app. But in UI what css and html need to be used to create a text-field where line numbers must not be editable by the user. And few other thing say like, text-field is fixed height height: 100px; now if text overflows and if the user scroll then line numbers must scroll together with respective lines. (I'm trying to create with textarea and div with contenteditable="true"). I'm not able to scroll the text-field if I try this. Please provide some help or any other way to do this.
As someone who has worked on this problem for over a year at a previous company. Just use one of the existing source code editors like Ace or CodeMirror. They'll work in a Firefox OS app as well (f.e. Cloud9 IDE uses Ace and works on FFOS).

How can I force vertical text to be horizontal?

I'm working on an ASP.NET website that needs to be internationalized. I'm using .resx files (essentially key-value pairs in a file) to populate static string fields on a page in different languages depending on the chosen culture/locale. I'm implementing Japanese and getting some stubborn vertical strings.
When copy and pasting them into the .resx file, they are horizontal (source of strings is Google Translate, for testing purposes). All of the strings appear normal, but one always displays vertically. The misbehaving string is a few div's deep (like all of them) and only has font-size, font-family, color, and an uppercase transform applied to it.
Removing any or all of the above rules does not change the orientation of the text. I've cleaned the formatting off the offending text with Notepad and shortened it (to ensure it wasn't a length problem). I'm stumped as to why this particular string is stubbornly vertical.
Here is the text in question: ログアウト
(Translation: Logout)
Edit
Clarification of the issue.
What it should look like:
The vertical text in question:
How can I force vertical text to be
horizontal?
Other than the title, I don't really understand your question. I'll take a guess anyway.
Try adding white-space: nowrap to the div that's misbehaving.
Recently I was doing some learning about right-to-left on the web and learned that Unicode characters have a directional property associated with them at the character level. So this might have something to do with that, though I certanily wouldn't know how to ascertain that or fix it, especially given that Google Translate is the source of the strings.
It happens quite often for Asian scripts (not just Japanese but also Korean and Chinese) to have text rendered incorrectly. Usually you just need to play with element width, especially if it is part of HTML table.
