If I understand, you want to select some text, and click a button to add
<b></b> around it?
I have an example of that here:
http://www.richardinfo.f2s.com/dynapi/Richard_Examples/bold_italic_onTheFly.
html
you don't see the tags, because they are rendered, but in a text box you
would see them of course.
This doesn't specifically need the DynAPI.
Cheers,
