Hello,

Actually the question is more generic, the archetype itself is not very 
important.

What we need is to store rich-text (html from a web-editor) on a DV 
element. The text may include several paragraphs, and a few simple 
formatting tags like bold, italic, colors, etc. To my knowledge, to 
accomplish this the RM 1.0.2 specifications is suggesting DV_PARAGRAPH 
(with DV_TEXT chunks holding necessary formatting) or alternatively 
DV_PARSABLE (with formalism=html). In any case not a single plain DV_TEXT.

Thus, if we intend to use published archetypes on CKM 
(openEHR-EHR-EVALUATION.clinical_synopsis.v1), from your experience what 
is the best option:
- use DV_TEXT chunks/elements (with or without DV_PARAGRAPH) with the 
right formatting ( = not an easy option to implement in our app, and 
also that specific archetype is not prepared for that)
- specialize the archetype the so that allows also DV_PARAGRAPH or 
DV_PARSABLE ( = I don't think that is allowed by the owned constraints)
- propose changes to RM so that DV_TEXT allows also 'simple' rich-text 
content, like html for instance, and not only per-word-formatting
- create our own local archetypes based on CKM version, but with the 
'right' DV elements ( = not a nice option considering knowledge management)
- or use a single DV_TEXT, and misuse its 'value' to hold also html.

Thanks,
Sebastian Iancu
