can't trust htmltext property!

[Andre Garzia]

Dan and Eric,

thanks a lot... I should have known better.... I don't need the full  
html support, just need basic text, not even alighment. Since it's  
known how h1 to h6 will behave, I'll write myself a translator to  
move back from <font size=24"> to <h2> when I pull the htmltext, will  
use setprop and getprop to make me a uAndreViewsOnHTMLText  
customprop, it should not be so hard... it's just a friggin paragraph/ 
header editor!!!!

I never expected htmltext to be able to present full html files, for  
that we have altBrowser but I really hoped that it would at least  
mantain state for text style tags and would ignore everything else  
(ignore is different from loosing information).

Cheers
andre
