set the textStyle to not bold

[Beat Cornaz]

Thanks for all your input. Interesting to get to know some more about  
HTML.

But I think  I have to approach what I want from a different angle. I  
want to mark some parts of a formatted text and be able to get the  
star- and end character positions of these parts of the text. When I  
delete or add text, the character  positions of the marked text must  
adapt. So when I am done, I have the exact char positions of all the  
marked text. The marking should be visible during the adding and  
removing of text parts and be thrown away in the end. Now boxed is  
clear and does in my case not interfere with other textStyles in the  
field. But applying box to a already formatted text is very  
unpredictable. Sometimes the f.i. bold part stays bold when applying  
box, sometimes it changes to plain. I have been thinking about 'link'  
text (which has the advantage of easily linking some info with it.  
But the style is like underline, so not usable for me. I think I go  
back to setting the backColor of the parts I want to temporaly mark.  
I can then check the start- and end char positions easily.
The disadvantage is that you don't see the selection in the parts  
with a backColor set.
Anyone an idea on how to resolve this?

Thanks, Beat
