You would normally do something like

put the selectedchunk
   -----> char 5 to 7 of field 1

put the textstyle of the selectedchunk

  ------> italic

if the specified chunk has mixed textstyle, you get an empty result

put the textstyle of char 3 to 5 of field 1
  ------>.                        i.e. empty

Hi list,

I have a field with a HTMLtext as follows :
  <p>abc <i>def</i> xyz</p>

the content of the field displays like that :
  abc def xyz
with "def" in italic.

Now I select "def" ; the selectedChunk returns
  char 5 to 7 of field x

Question : how can I know for certain that the
selection is in italic ?

I tried : char 5 to 7 of the HTMLtext of field x
but it returns : "bc "

Thank you in advance.
jbv
