Speed in setting text styles

[Sarah Reichelt]

This looks like much the best solution so far. I had the same problem 
coloring certain lines in a large field and used a similar approach to 
reduce the time. However the html that Mark suggests to bold the text 
does not have the tags nested correctly. It will probably display OK, 
but for correctness, the tags should not overlap. Replace the relevant 
line with:
    put "<p><b>" & L & "</b></p>" & cr after changedData -- bold text

Cheers,
Sarah
