Hi Heinz,

I've always written HTML tags in separate formulas. Why don't you create a separate formula and set that formula to interpret HTML tags instead?

I'm not sure if 'Display String' will ever be able to interpret HTML tags.

P.S: I just saw a weird behavior though. I created a simple string formula:

stringvar a;

a := "Abhilash, Kumar";

I then set this field to interpret HTML tags. Then I created this Display String Formula:

Replace(CurrentFieldValue,",","<br>");

It seems to work for the first time and as long as you DO NOT right-click the field and click OK.

There is an issue indeed, however I would recommend creating a separate formula to interpret HTML tags.

Hope this helps!
