Text Inspector Needed

[Stephen Barncard]

Yes. I have a good start for you, but you'll want to add more features.
Derek Bump at Dreamscape offered this very nice stack that focused on 
creating html text that worked better in a browser with his 
modifications, and maintained sizes better than raw Rev HTML.. And 
vice versa. Very educational.

Not only that, there's great code and ICONS for most editing 
functions, including changing text attributes among others already 
set in a field.
