Applying HTML formatting tags to text feilds

hello world.  I came across a new and interesting issue recently . we have been working on moving some of our sales documents over to BIP from our previous document processing system  and i came up on a realy nasty snag 

we have large comment fields in there where our users wrap text in html formatting tags like < b >  or < u > etc so they can have more control over how the text displays in the finished out put

that gave me a monumental headach but thanks to the BIP elfs over at Oracle we have a solution .  if you adjust your tag name  to match 

<?html2fo: elementname?>  it does the trick nicely and displays the html formatting 

thank you oracle that one really helped out
