Kendall, Basically, the application has a series of office suite components (flow chart tool, test creation wizard, etc). In each of these areas, users can enter in text plus format in subscript, superscript, and italics. This all has to then be savable to an XML document (which is used by another application so my xml structure is rigid). The xml formatting uses standard html tags to encode where formatting takes place. So:
This is a sample of H<SUB>2</SUB>0. All of the text is user definable, changeable on the fly, and slow to display if it contains a lot of formatting tags. So, imaging lingo is sadly not an option. Thanks though!
