Hi all - looking for a bit of help here. Am more stumped than a stumped thing. :sigh:

I have a calender that dynamically loads text from an associated xml file. This xml file has one field, \<menuitem\> with a child item within of date=.

This image shows what I’m getting (static):

This image shows what I want to get:

[http://www.betsytaylor.co.uk/kirupa/what\_I\_want.jpg](http://www.betsytaylor.co.uk/kirupa/what_I_want.jpg)

The difference is the formatting of the displayed text. Does anyone know how I can do this?

Please, please help :beam:
