Hi Jim,

I see Sara already correctly responded to both of your questions. I just
wanted to add...

Technically, this should be <p><b>Hello World</b></p> which would give you
the equivalent of a <br>.

Also, there is a free Plugin that Eric Chatonet wrote called Encoded Text
Picker that's available towards the bottom of this page
http://www.sosmartsoftware.com/?r=revolution&l=en where you can just type in
plain text and then switch to either the HTML tab or URLEncoded tab. In the
HTLM tab is all your tags done for you. It allows for bolding and italics
and links and color (basics supported by Rev HTML).

You can then just hit the copy button and paste either the formatted plain
text into a field, or copy the HTML and then set the HTMLText of a field or
use it quoted say with an answer command.

Like Sarah, I also use resetAll in standalones, despite the warnings. ;-)

Aloha from Hawaii,
