Exactly, Bill. Nothing bizarre about it. Thank you for looking up the
reference.
In reply to Dar's list of applications that do or don't: Apple's
TextEdit application behaves exactly like Revolution fields in this
respect.
Best,
Mark

Except that <title> has a defined, special meaning that Rev knows
about --
which is to specify the title of a document -- and that is by
definition
distinct from the content. The <foo> tag however, is undefined.
I believe that it's appropriate to "strip" out the information
between title
tags and to preserve the information between "foo" tags.
By reference, see:
http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html3/HTMLandSGML.html
"The behavior of WWW applications reading HTML documents and
discovering tag
or attribute names which they do not understand should be to behave as
though, in the case of a tag, the whole tag had not been there but its
content had, or in the case of an attribute, that the attribute had
not been
present."
In this case, Rev "understands" the title tag, and correctly does not
include it in the content. It does not understand the "foo" tag and
therefore renders it as if the tag were not there.

My word processor doesn't do it. My calculator doesn't do it.
The IP
address field in preferences doesn't do it.
A Revolution field is not a browser and it is not even an HTML
displayer.
It has a simple html-like markup view that covers the
capabilities of of
the field. Though it is similar to HTML, htmlText doesn't even
attempt
to be like HTML even in little things like representing whitespace.
The title is way outside the scope of what htmlText does.
Stripping <title> and not <foo> is bizarre.
It might be a clue that htmlText will become closer to HTML, but I
suspect it is an ancient artifact.
