David, With kindest respect, I think that what you are asking is really a question about HTML formatting style and has very little to do with MySQL or its TEXT data type. Please try to keep your posts relevant to MySQL. If you really do have a question that relates to MySQL, please rephrase your post and make it more apparent.
