I have a grid with a memo field that is set to display at HTML. The database field has the formatting and looks fine in any HTML editor. I am not sure why the characters are not showing up as a formatted display.
The Formatting in HTML is as follows:
<p><font size="7"><strong><em> The Ezekiel Project</em></strong></font><br/>
<a href="http://www.projectezekiel.net">www.projectezekiel.net</a></p>
The text and size are normal.
Any thoughts about the reason it is not displaying as HTML formatted.

Probably because it's being formatted by a CSS class, which overrides the
embedded HTML directives. Try removing 'class="something"' directives
Or, better still, define a class to implement the formatting you want.
1. Add the style to the <HEAD> of the page (or just put in in Style.css)
2. Apply the style to the text
An example:
<HEAD>
<STYLE>
p.mystyle {font-size: 18pt; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;
padding-left: 10px;}
a.mystyle {padding-left: 200px;}
</STYLE>
<BODY>
<p class="mystyle">The Ezekiel Project<br/>
<a href="http://www.projectezekiel.net">www.projectezekiel.net</a></p>
</BODY>
I eliminated the non-breaking spaces through the use of padding. You will
surely need to fine tune the 'pt' and 'px' sizes to get them exactly like
you want.
[editorial comment: using spaces to position things is a terrible idea
because it's browser/font dependent.]

That was the problem. There were some embedded HTML formats in the code. Thanks for the help.
