Hi Guys,  
Anyone who has ever used the feature, please help. I can’t seem to identify the problem here.  
Thanks!

Is that a Label or a Text Field? Only Labels support a limited set of HTML formatting.

It is a text field Kevin.  
Oh so it does not work for text fields?

Nope, however you can use '\n' for line breaks if the text property bound to an expression.

Yep, odd, I know.

Only odd in that I could only get it to work in an expression binding. Typing it in directly is a no-go.

Otherwise, odd is my SOP.

But if you want to _type in_ a multiline text value, you can pop open the multiline string editor....
