Formatting individual words in a text field manually

[stephen barncard]

You could write a quick html text creator from scratch almost faster that it
would take me to find a demo stack online somewhere. We've all rolled a few
of our own tools while coding, it's so easy.

Having said that, if you contact me off-list I will forward a stack that
converts text in a Livecode field to  html and back again and includes a set
of cleverly-implemented formatting buttons that you could adopt.   Off list
because I found the stack online via this list a long time ago and have not
been able to contact the author (and I modified it)- so I'm not comfortable
posting it online.
