[FX.php List] Creating formatting from FX

Tue Aug 21 01:01:07 MDT 2007

lol

No I'm not at all... I was simply having a little fun with you Gjermund
because at times you're inclined to offer slightly cryptic advice... ;-)

The reply you posted about always using CSS was about 180 degrees off, since
my question had been how do I get text, which I generate with PHP, and
insert into an FMP field, to show formatting (bold for some words) when
viewed within Filemaker... I'd had a number of suggestions, all of which
featured defining fields and storing the text I wanted in bold in one field,
the non-bold in another and then concatenating them together... 

Then you pooped up and said use CSS, which I know won't work, since my notes
field in FMP will just display the code, not the formatting, so I was
attempting to pull your leg a little...

Seems however that the joke was on me...

Cheers
Steve
