independent runs. Very odd.
Hmmm - there's no code to do that explicitly (a semi-colon is no different from any other
char!). Non-merged style runs can occur through some script operations on a field though (the
engine uses 0 length runs sometimes as markers - they would probably cause that effect). It
could also be due to the structure of the htmlText being imported (potentially). If you have a
simple example, then I can probably say one way or the other.
Well, I tried to find one and couldn't repeat it so it must be something to do with the
formatting of the html. I looked at an instance of a semi-colon and it was treated as normal
text in the run. Since I have about a hundred of these files to work with, I'm not sure where
the original issue was, but it doesn't appear to be in the engine code.
I just love these little surprises.
