HTMLtext problem

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Charles,

Your html is good html :-)
Make a stack with 2 fields.
Type (or paste) the text you desire in the first one. Change fonts,  
colours, styles as usual using the Text menu.
Add a button the script of which will be:

on mouseUp
   put the htmlText of fld 1 into fld 2
end mouseUp

If you are too lazy ;-) or desire a more sophisticated tool, you  
might be interested by Encoded Text Picker, a complete translator you  
will find on my web site (Revolution plugins section).

Best Regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.
