[FX.php List] Styled Text?

[Steve Winter]

Yip, me too, with exactly the same result... I took the route Webko described and went for a web viewer for the FMP interface... it took the users a while to get used to not being able to do Cmd B for bold (though I think some of the newer WYSYWIG editors might be offering keyboard commands now, this was a year or so back) but they learnt to live with it...

Getting stuff out, and even doing some clean-up of the frankly nasty html that GetAsCSS() generates, was no problem, putting it back in again, I gave up, went with the solution above, and stored the pure HTML in the field....

Cheers
Steve
