Embedded formatting in text string

[Bastiaan Olij]

Hey John,

It's a weak point in Omnis. You can style text using the style()
function but that only works for background objects (labels and text
objects). I do believe the style functions work when printing labels as
well.
You don't have the option of an enterable field in which the user can
format the text and you then print that formatted text

Where we need this we use the excellent oWrite from Brainydata.

Cheers,

Bas
