Importing formatted tex

[lmaury]

Hi,

I'm importing text via XML (through a hack, not through the regular FMP methods) in a way that can preserve the xml tags.

My question--and this would apply to importing HTML, tags intact--is whether there's a way to change these tags into formatting information that FMP would recognize. So that italics would be italics. Bold would be bold, etc...

The idea is that text that appears inside my text here could appear in italics.

Thanks for any help.

I suppose you could try something like:

Evaluate (

Substitute ( Quote ( text ) ;

[ "" ; Quote ( " & TextStyleAdd ( " ) ] ;

[ "" ; Quote ( " ; italic ) & " ) ]

)

)

which can be extended to accomodate more styles, and even remove other coding as shown here.

That would work with very simple HTML - but I am afraid it takes more than a calculation to build a browser application.
