texte = Hi,I have been trying to develop a system to allow users to format text in input fields without using HTML. Based on Rob Marquardt grep conversions (thanks Rob !!) I'm able to do this for most formats such as bold, mail links, web links, etc.My two questions about this are:-1. Can this method be used for lists2. Is it better to make the grep coversions before the data is stored into a database (i.e. when the data is inputted), or is it better to make the grep conversions when the data is accessed (i.e. on the display template)Thanks - Tom------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
