I need to make a text tool that allows the user to select some text, press a button and the selected text changes according to the color of the button.

Basically I want to insert som html formatting into the string and show it as html text eg

Hello <font color="#i006633"> there </font>

My approach is like this:

1. When button is pressed i use Selection.getBeginIndex()/Selection.getEndIndex() to find selection.

2. I put the htmlText into a string

3. Loop though it, find the correct spot and insert my html code

The probleme is this, when I get the HTML code, there is a bunch of stuff in there like:

<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Cooper Black" SIZE="15" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"> Hello there<font etc>hello again</font>etc...

if i know where i am in my string eg. between the two ll's in the first Hello (index 2) how do I map that into the entire html string so i can place my new code the correct place?

Thank you
M
