htmlText question

[Kay C Lan]

Actually, using the textStyle is another option:

set the text of word 1 of line 1 of fld 1 to "<b>"
set the htmlText of word 2 to -1 of line 1 of fld 1 to "<b>This is bold
text</b>"
set the text of line 2 of fld 1 to "this is <i>italics</i>"
set the textStyle of token -4 of line -1 of fld 1 to italic
put the htmlText of fld 1 into msg
