This definatly seems strange to me(because I have not yet figured it out) but when I add the tags \<b\>\</b\> or \<i\>\</i\> to a string that I’m putting into an html textfield, the text inbetween the tags disappear.

```auto
my_txt.html = true;
my_txt.multiline = true;
my_txt.htmlText = " <b>Bold Text</b><br>regular text<br>

```

the previous code would display a blank line, then regular text in the my\_txt textfield.  
Does anyone know what my problem is?
