I was under the impression, that when loading external text, you could you use html tags to alter the style of the text with tags like \<b\>, \<i\>, \<u\>, alignments, and so on…

My dynamic text box is set to render the text as html, but when i view the text, it just has the tags \<html\>\<b\>text\</b\>\</html\> instead of actually formatting it…
