We have noticed that if a user does not have the Designer client installed, and only has the Notes client installed, they cannot highlight text in a rich-text field and mark it as pass-thru HTML. The option on the Text menu doesn’t even show up!
Does anyone know how to mark text as pass-thru HTML without having to install the Designer client?

You have to render Edit Mode before being able to use this feature in the Client. Then simply highlight the text and select Pass-Thru HTML.

We have a document in Edit mode. We have text in a rich-text field. We highlight it. On the Edit menu, there isn’t even an option for “Pass-thru HTML”.
In our testing, unless you also install the Designer client, that option doesn’t even show up on the Edit menu!

pass-thru html is only supported in Designer installs, effective with the R5 release, if I remember correctly.

So, how do Mac users enter pass-thru HTML, since there is no Designer client for the Mac?
If a PC user (with Designer) marks text as p-t HTML, the Mac user can cut and paste it without losing the PT property, but they can’t enter PT themself.
This is severely hampering our rollout of an application to our Mac users. Is there any workaround? Any chance of seeing it put back in?
Thanks,

Anybody know how to get rid of pass-thru HTML in an email if someone only has client?
Sometimes clients without designer installed edit email and discover their text rendering as pass-thru HTML. They do not know how to turn it off, other than deleting the whole area and re-typing in non-pass-thru areas (a hack).The solution I was hoping for was R6, but it seems this is still a problem. Anyone have a good workaround to tell users what to do if they find themselves stuck with pass-thru HTML.

Copy all the text containing the passthrough-html and paste it into Notepad, then copy and paste it back. OK, it is stupid, but I think it works pretty well.

Karl,
This may not help a whole lot, since I am looking for a solution as well…but you can place [ at the first and ] at the last of the entered text, and when rendered in a browser, appears as html. This is just something that I started looking into today. When I do this though, I get a
tag in my html for some reason and have yet to figure out why. Good Luck.
