HtmlText is not HTML. It was added to the engine as a convenient way to use HTML-like tagging to express field contents with styles. Header tags (eg "H1") are an HTML convention. LiveCode has no CSS, and hence ability to define header specifiers for size. If you try this: set the textSize of fld 1 to "h1" ...it should fail. But as a convenience or those who may be attempting to mix and match a limited form of HTML with LC's HtmlText, the engine will allow header tags as input, translating them to fixed values. As you've discovered there, the fixed value for "H1" is 34. > Even with the font size of field increases, it stays at size="34"?? Attributes of field objects are different from attributes of style runs in the content within the field object. Changes to the object's textColor, textSize, and textFont will affect the visual rendering of the object's contents only, leaving the contents as stored unaffected. If the content has any attribute set within a style run, that setting overrides any setting for the object, much as we see with inheritance of visual properties throughout LC. If you want to change the textSize of the contents of the field, you can either: a) set the textSize of char 1 to -1 of fld "Whatever" to 20 b) set the textSize of char 1 to -1 of fld "Whatever" to empty set the textSize of fld "Whatever" to 20 -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

I would say from the h1 attribute that sets the text as a heading, h1 being the largest size. If you test with h2, h3 etc. you should see different font sizes. As you can see, LiveCode’s conversion to HTML is not exactly how you would write the code if you were producing a web page, AFAIK it’s designed to suit LC's internal use.
