html formatting in a field

[Springer, Paul]

Thanks Mark. This does give me text with html formatting tags, but what I
want displayed is the formatted text, as it would show up in a browser, not
the tags. I just want to use tags to format it.

Try this:

1.) Create some formatted text in a text editor.

2.) Copy that formatted text to the clipboard.

3.) Paste it into a text field ( field "yourField" ) in Rev.

4.) In the message window enter this:
    put the HTMLText of field "yourField" into field "yourField"

This way you can see the different kinds of HTML tags. Also see the 
docs on HTMLText.
