I decided to go plain text instead of facing more bugs

I don't think you demonstrated any bugs. That may be my fault; I don't think I followed all.


This may be a misunderstanding of htmlText. If so, then maybe you and RunRev might share that blame. The htmlText property is an alternate and equivalent representation of text with chunk properties. This representation is html-like and being in the style of html is easier to use than some arbitrary language for many folks. It allows you to grab both the text and the properties as one value. However, it is not complete html. It is not even a subset. It is close enough that the closeness can be exploited in many ways.

When I was first using Revolution I complained that the representation of white space was all wrong. (Whether I was right is another matter.) However, when I realized that htmlText should not be considered html, I dropped that.

Often arbitrary html can be modified to be suitable for htmlText, but often it take some work.

I don't use rtfText, but I expect the situation is similar.
