How to increase the textsize of HTMLtext proportional?

[Michael Doub]

I think this solves the problem.   You want to make sure that there is a ">" but not if it is found after a "<".

on mouseUp
   put the htmlText of fld 1 into theHtml
   replace "size="&quote with "size="&numtoChar(1500) in theHTML
   set the itemdel to numToChar(1500)
   if the number of items of theHTML<>1 then
      put 0 into itemCount
      repeat for each item theItem in theHTML
         add 1 to itemCount
         if itemCount=1 then
            put theItem into newHTML
            next repeat
         end if
         put 1 into counter
         put offset (">", theItem) into tLeft
         put offset ("<" , theItem) into tRight
         if tLeft <> 0 then -- found it
            if tRight <> 0 and tRight > tLeft then-- found "<" and after ">" which is ok
               repeat forever
                  add 1 to counter
                  if char counter of theItem=quote then exit repeat
               end repeat
               put char 1 to counter-1 of theItem into theSize
               put theSize + 1 into theSize
               put theSize into char 1 to counter-1 of theItem
            end if
         end if
         put quote&theItem after newHTML
      end repeat
      set the htmlText of fld "test" to newHTML
   end if
   set the textSize of fld "test" to \
         the effective textSize of fld "test"+1
end mouseUp
