HTMLtext and selectedChunk

[Alex Tweedly]

You would normally do something like

put the selectedchunk
    -----> char 5 to 7 of field 1

put the textstyle of the selectedchunk

   ------> italic

if the specified chunk has mixed textstyle, you get an empty result

put the textstyle of char 3 to 5 of field 1
   ------>.                        i.e. empty
