Hello Matt,
Text Editor is a from widget in Kexi, capable of editing a subset of HTML

( http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/richtext-html-subset.html )

The widget has Rich Text property, true by default. I just noticed it
accepts pasting rich text such as copied from a browser, unfortunately
it fails to save it, instead it converts the content to plain text. It
will be fixed in subsequent release (which will be 2.6.0 Beta 1).
You can store the HTML but it has to be entered or pasted in as HTML
text, not rich text. This way (after the fix) you'd be able to see the
resulting HTML.

We also do not have proper toolbar for actions [Bold], [Italic], etc.
This would have to be added too.

Another missing feature is displaying rich text in Tabular View.

Thanks for helping to locate the regression :)
