Hi all,

The text class can include html tags. Are there any limitations or
exclusions. Can it handle the image tag, etc

Thanks

Robert

What do you want to do with it? Display it on a dBASE form or Report, or
stream out to an HTML file?

If to an HTML file, you can put any HTML recognized tags you want out
there. If to a form or report in dBASE, there are limitations. I don't
know that they're documented anywhere, though.

All I can suggest is experimentation. I know that it's a limited subset,
but I haven't ever seen a listing of what's allowed. There are issues
with the editor object and a list (<ul> or <ol> -- scrolling), but in
most cases you won't be scrolling a text object. Table tags don't work,
as I recall ... not sure about the image tag that you originally asked
about.
