Scriptable rich text in a native mobile text field?   I second that!

I probably should have specified: I was hoping there might be at least 
something in the works to bring the scripted mobile-native editable 
field up to par with other apps that allow styles to be applied to text 
the user writes.

I would expect to build the UI to set style attributes as we do on the 
desktop, if it were possible.

It's possible. For a LiveCode field, note that the font has to have a font 
variant for each style. Some time ago LC stopped supporting artificially 
altered font styles. The native system font on each mobile OS supports all 
styles.


Or do you mean something else?

Not if you are ok with using a LC field or a browser object to display it, but 
if you want to use a native single or multi-line text field - then yes.
