Which field from the Field Paltte (
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/App+Within+Minutes+Application#HFieldPalette
) did you used for the unstructured data?

This is definitely not true. AWM can be used to manage both structured
and unstructured data.

You have two options:

(1) Use the Long Text field or

(2) even better, use the Content field.


The first stores the unstructured content in a TextArea property of an
object attached to the "Product" page (in your case) while the second
stores the unstructured data directly in the content of the Product
wiki page.

Both will offer you a WYSIWYG editor when you add/edit a new
application entry (a new Product in your case), unless you have
choosen to use the wiki editor in your user profile. In any case, you
can put whatever content you want in the text area, and it will be
rendered nicely in view mode. So you can definitely put headings,
images, links, tables, etc, everything you can do with the WYSIWYG
editor or with the wiki syntax. I just checked this and it works.

I'm curious why this didn't work for your.

Hope this helps,
Marius
