But that is just my opinion. > Getting the basic formatting (specifically: bold, italic, underline and strikeout -- yes strikeout) would save me lots of time on a few projects I do. Is Rich Text Format proprietary? Patented? I don't think NS 4- had this ability, which makes me wonder. This sort of feature would be extremely helpful to me personally, but I'm not sure if it rates high enough to hold up v1.0. A "custom copy" feature might be really nice...have a GUI to select what formatting gets picked up with the text...check off the things you need, leave the rest unchecked...voila! For those of you who may be puzzled about the strikeout and underline, this is a legal/legislative (I'm sure other lines of biz use this, too.) method of showing how you're amending a bill/ regulation/ etc. Stuff to be removed is given the strikeout and stuff to be added is underlined. Selectively copying formatting along with the text would be a great help in cleaning up HTML created my MS Office and not run though the cleanup add-on (optional download, how rude) before being posted on the web. But until then, there's always HTML Tidy: http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/
