RTF text

Robert,

I've complained enough about it, what else can you do?
Before you complain further you should try pasting HTML text 
into a RunRev Field ;) 

Goodbye returns! You have to go to ultraedit to paste first and
then to RR... Usually all the styles are jumbled because of bad
html or the lineheight don't resize correctly or the tables are 
gone or the characters entities, etc, etc... 

You can always use the DiscreteBrowser to parse HTML correctly
back into correct RR styled text. But RTF is rare to find these 
days so that didn't make it...

Im currently writing an SQL convert from SQL to stack and vice versa!
My SQL server is inaxessible except via copy paste in PHPMyAdmin! And
copy paste from Iexplorer to RR just screws up the lines...

Talk about editing pains!

Im working on a new discrete browser version so I might do the rtf
later... CSS, XML are planned before though... I might post the latest 
beta in the test lab urls later ;)

If you hit my paypal with the right force on MonsieurX.com I just might 
twist the priorities on the fetures plan ;)

Cheers
Xavier
