The following is a problem I find really difficult and important.
Text styling: In a single field under a group photograph, I wanted to a 
simple type styling task; setting the words "Front row" in italics 
while keeping the students' names in roman. I can't appear to do that 
at all.
I read in the documents that I might be able to "set the htmlText of 
[chunk of] field to htmlString", and in so doing get control over my 
text-styling.
Only, no matter how I searched, I could find no indication of what is 
suggested here, and what on earth I am supposed to do. Adding HTML tags 
just have the tags come up in the field. I tried many things but I am 
still in the dark.
I suppose that the documentation on this subject may simply presume 
some advance knowledge that I lack. I would appreciate any 
clarification.
Ryno.
