Create formatted element 'notes'
« on: February 08, 2017, 10:38:10 pm »
Hi all,

When I use the rich text features of the EA notes editor I get some HTML-like formatting in the element description, e.g. <ul> for the beginning of an unordered list or 
 for line breaks.

I want to generate element notes via automation which contain some formatting like this but I have not found a way to prevent EA from quoting the "&".  It seems that assigning  Element.Notes = "
"  always converts it to "
" which basically converts the formatting tags into plain text.

Does someone know how to mark the '&' as special char not to be converted?

Thank you!
Heiko

Use Repository.GetFormatFromField to convert the internal notes format. Consult the help for more details.
