Rich Text Syntax
This is something simple, but I still feel like I'm not doing this in the cleanest way. Below is an example of some basic red text in italics. "<span style='font-size:12px;color:#e61515'><i>words a...

If you're only intending to use the style for one specific phrase, I'd go with something like this:
var text words = "<span style='font-size:12px;color:#e61515'><i>words are going here</i></span>";
"word word word " & $words & " word word word"
If you want to repeat the styling, try this:
var text startTags = "<span style='font-size:12px;color:#e61515'><i>";
var text endTags = "</i></span>";
"word word word " & $startTags & " words are going here " & $endTags & " word word " & $startTags & "yet more words" & $endTags & " word."

- Thanks! Both good ideas. I like the starttag endtag variables, that is clever. Ill also check out the video by @Quick Base Junkie.

Thanks for the mention @Paul Peterson!
Michael, I know you're familiar with my videos/site, but for anyone else looking for the App Variable video, I've added it here.
@Ahuva Brown had a great suggestion with the $startTags $endTags. The only thing I'd add is you can include the italic or bold in the style element to simplify the tags (even though it does add more 'text' overall).style="font-size:12px; color:#e61515; font-style:italic; font-weight:bold"
*Note: bolding doesn't appear to make much of an impact on the default QB font, so you may also need to add a different font to your style element (font-family: Arial,sans-serif)
And there's lots more over on the Quick Base Junkie Blog regarding HTML and other Quickbase topics.
