Don't use dTextBox, which only handles plain text. Instead, use
dHtmlBox. This control understands basic HTML formatting, and is used for
just this purpose. See the dHtmlBox sample in DaboDemo.

Hi Ed and Paul,
Thanks for your reply.
Can I hold these formatted texts in the database with the relevant other
information?
My form is like an interactive tutorial.
The user can select a topic on the left-side object tree.
The right side of the form is split vertically: the upper window is for help
and hints. The lower window is for user input.
I would like to store the help information and the related user input in one
database, in one record. Each record in the database contains one help text
and the related user input text (in different fields). The user can browse
the topics through object tree.
So, this would be the basic functional design of the form. It means that it
would be good to store the formatted help text in the same database together
with the user input.
However, I cannot find out if it is possible using the dHtmlBox.
Miklós
