apply here. Rev is a very powerful text chunk engine, so use HTMLtext during the casting of text blocks, then convert to valid HTML, etc before sending. I don't have any experience using HTMLtext. If the real issue is that the tags look good before uploading but then the CSS does

is supported in the Rev engine but not in HTML, and is missing a good many HTML things like CSS. One useful thing about htmlText is that the order of tags is fairly consistent when you obtain that property from a field, regardless of the tag order you may have used to set those attributes

Hi Tom, If you want to explore CSS a bit more in topic, have a look at the stack HTML exporter, in the education gallery: http://revolution.lexicall.org/stacks_education.php (right under tools and plugins, in the last third of the page) It exports the content of a stack into HTML

Completely off-topic but... I've been investigating cascading style sheets and noticed that on the surface, a lot of css sites resembled Pages templates. I exported a Pages file to html and looked at it. Sure enough it used css. It might be a good way to start using css. I haven't checked
