Hi all,
I'm working with httpservice and a rich text area. I pull in the xml via
httpservice, then parse out all xml tags. However, dependent on the XML I need
to do various things, such as if the text is in an <boldMe> tag, then make it
bold; if it's in an <italicizeMe> tag, then I'll italicize it, then display it,
correctly formatted, in the RTE.
Questions:
1) I need to have the <P> tags create new lines. Not sure how to do that
without kludgy regular expressions. That can't be the best way. Can it? :)
2) I want to keep the whitespace, but as you'll see that isn't happening.
Thanks,
David
