This seems like a very common problem but I haven't been able to find any help anywhere.

I want to reproduce the formatting of text fields (i.e. size, bold, italics etc) on the web without using "Instant Web Publishing".

Yet the [FMP-Field:] tag in CDML only reproduces the text and there doesn't appear to be any other useful tag or even FileMaker function to access the formatting. Exporting is also useless.

Are there some undocumented ways to do this or perhaps some plugin?

One extremely awkward solution would be to place the desired text fields in another database on another computer with instant web publishing enabled and use scripting to access the data.

There must be an easier way.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Try this:

[FMP-Field:myfield, Format]

All the best.

p.s. html, css and Javascript would all be easier than your alternative suggestion.

Thank you very much!

This is just what I need. The "Format" option isn't mentioned in my CDML reference which is from the Filemaker web site:

p.s. I don't quite understand your p.s. If the only way to access formatting would be through IWP, then it would be necessary to use IWP. But this really doesn't matter any more.
