Yes, it would probably work better to roll your own RTF-to-HTML converters. RTF in rev seems to be pretty solid. I notice that rev's htmltext uses simple FONT tags inline, which is pretty old stuff in the web world - in fact not advised. At any rate, the numbers are in font SIZES 1 - xxx? - not pixels, and some text gets to be HUGE when presented in a web browser. Perhaps there's a scaling factor, but...

Ideally, an RTF to HTML interpreter would imbed style definitions in the header, and use DIV tags and .classes for styled paragraphs.

Sounds like a library to me! I love text-munging projects like this...

Hi Folks,

why on earth Rev is doing this presentation hack. Put a field on a stack, set the htmltext of the field to "<h2>SOMETHING</h2>", now, pull the html text property and you'll end with something like:

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><font size="24"><b>SOMETHING</b></font></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>

...


HELL the thing is even loosing attributes!!!! if you use something like "<p class="footer">my text</p>" when you check the htmltext prop you end up with no attributes. I think it's okay for rev to ignore the attribute but to loose it.... things should be simpler.

Damn!
