Styled text challenge...

The following all works for me:

## render some HTML in a field
set the htmlText of fld 1 to url "http://www.somsite.com"
## get the HTML source
put the htmlText of fld 1 into fld 2
## get the RTF equivalent source
put the rtfText of fld 1 into fld 3
## re-render as RTF in a different field
set the rtfText of fld 4 to fld 3

The conversion is not perfect, but I'm not sure what else is desired- 
the htmlText is not a browser, and converting from HTML->RTF will never 
be a lossless conversion as they are not equivalent formats.
