RAW Text Widgets
A widget defined as RAW TEXT will not honor html tags, whereas one defined as a LABEL or TEXT AREA will do so. RAW TEXT may be used on ALPHA and TEXT fields. RAW TEXT indicates that the data should be printed as stored with no formatting applied by APPX. When used with either an ALPHA field or a TEXT field RAW TEXT will not apply any html formatting. Data will not word-wrap, and instead will break on a character with a default position of the top and left of the widget area. Underscores for required spaces and APPX paragraph characters will print as data. Widget attributes will be honored. If no widget attributes are set the result of a RAW TEXT widget should be the same as an ALPHA field printed with no widget. The table below summarizes the behaviors of various output process widget types for ALPHA and TEXT fields as of Release 6.1.0: Please note, the table below is similiar to versions of APPX prior to 6.1.0. however, prior to APPX 6.1.0 the implimentation was inaccurate in many ways. | Field Type / Widget Type | No Widget | RAW TEXT | LABEL | TEXT AREA | | ALPHA | Does not honor embedded html formatting
