I have come to this thread rather late. Html coding (of whatever kind, Legacy or non-Legacy) shows in the D/P/N column in the Events box on the Individual screen. The removal of this visual record is what prompted my request that it be re-instated. For the vast majority of users, this should not be an issue. If they have some custom event and would like the Description field to be italic, for example, they can simply add that to the Sentence definition, overriding it when not applicable. No coding will appear.
If you open an Event, coding of whatever kind (if not part of the Sentence Definition) shows in the Event/Description/Date/Location boxes and has since inception. Legacy standard coding (italic, bold, etc) now does not appear in the Notes; non-Legacy coding, ie a manually coded internal or external hyperlink or the like, does.I am not quite seeing how this might confuse someone. I have no idea what an "ordinary" user might look like or desire, but I want to see exactly what is entered, not some pretty approximation.
