strange htmltext problem

[Peter Haworth]

I'm having issues with htmltext also.

I'm using the <sub> tag to do the equivalent of setting the textshift of a
character and the <img> tag to do the equivalent of setting the
imagesource, eg

<sub shift="2"><img src="1234" char=" "></sub>

I can clearly see this in the variable I use to set the htmltext, yet when
I get the htmltext of the field, the <sub> clauses are sometimes there,
sometimes not.  Even if they are there, they don't have any effect.

I'd really like to get this working if I can since using htmltext appears
much faster than setting the imagesource and textshift on individual lines
in the field when there are a large number of lines to be processed.

This is with LC 5.5.0, OSX 10.7.
