Title: Enhanced notes field
Post by: skiwi on August 25, 2009, 01:11:40 pm

I find the notes field works well, but could benefit from additional formatting options,
to save having to create linked RTF documents.

In particular it would be useful to have indented bullets and numbering, hyperlinks, styles (from normal.rtf),
and simple tables.

It took about three years (if memory serves) to get this much...

But the basic problem you face is that the Formatted notes are HTML not RTF.

EA has enough troubles just handling RTF issues without compounding matters.

I strongly suspect the current set of formatting was specifically chosen because of a fairly direct mapping to RTF (and I don't blame them).

I, too, would love the functionality you propose; but I'm not holding my breath.
