Copied from another project which uses an html document to be inserted into the
NSTextView.
This project did have a database which did not have an HTML layout field and I
forgot to change to NSAttributedString(string:s).
Found another DB which has an HTML data field (after I posted the original
email), so I will drop my hand created version and use that.
I don’t deal with HTML much (besides basic websites) and completely forgot
about the encoding.
Thanks for all the help.
