I've come to enjoy working with styledText arrays since I asked about 
them here last year.  Very helpful for many things, but in this case I'd 
use the simpler htmlText, designed as it is to provide a plain-text 
representation of field contents with complete fidelity, and it works on 
chunks as well as the field object as a whole.
