I’ve tried searching this forum and some others for the answer for this, but haven’t found anything. I was wondering if there was an editor/code available that would let a user enter straight HTML code from the Notes Client, and that HTML would be rendered on the web when viewing the document from there.
For instance, if I enter “This is a test” on the form in the client, “This is a test” shows up as bold with an Arial font when viewed from the browser.
Any help is appreciated…thanks in advance!
Subject: HTML editor for Notes client?
I just tried this through my INotes.
The field needs to be rich text, but just try putting brackets around the html
code. For instance
font face=“Arial”>]This is a test/b>]

The square bracket trick is limited to html which starts with a “<” character, which rules some things out, and isn’t quite as self-documenting as using the “Pass-Thru HTML” command in the Text menu (since that shades the HTML in grey). (Although I often prefer it myself, and it’s handy in code as well.)
You can also put a field named “HTML” in the form your user works in, and that will become pass-thru html.
The user can also create a paragraph style named “HTML” and apply it to any text which should be treated as pass-thru.
All of these techniques are close to equivalent (there are some interesting differences here and there), but the technique using the menu command is not only the easiest for the user to perform, the self-documenting shading makes it the easiest for the user to manage.

The passthrough HTML attribute from the Text menu is the easiest and clearest, but I thought there was some issue with it not being available if you don’t have Designer. Do you know if that is true?

I can’t double-check from home, but I thought it was there regardless – but your recollection could be better than mine. eh?
