Hi Gang,

I have text that I am putting into a label that has been custom formatted by
a text editor and looks like this:

Some outside text <crl>Some inside text</clr> Some outside text

How can I map this to an item in a CSS file so that I can use it to format
the 'Some inside text' portion of the text?

Thanks.

Steve
 
Well I dont think you can map it to CSS without changing it to something CSS
can identify against. So, before you add the text to the label do a string
replace on the crl so it becomes a DIV and manipulate the DIV as you would
any div from CSS. Of course you'll need to close the DIV correctly also.

So:
Some outside text <crl>Some inside text</clr> Some outside text
becomes
Some outside text <div class="crl">Some inside text</div> Some outside text
