Formatting text

I'm not real experienced with html and rich text but I have been using this formula for showing text with different formatting:

"<span style='font-size:12px;color:#e61515'><i>words go here</span>"

How do I modify so that instead of words, I can reference one of my text fields? Obviously, If I just put [text field] it literally shows that on the page.

    you have to end the quotes and use the & which means to concatenate and then restart the quotes.

    "<span style='font-size:12px;color:#e61515'><i>" & [my field goes here] & "</span>"

        This may be deprecated HTML... but I learned that you should also have the closing </i> tag...

        "<span style='font-size:12px;color:#e61515'><i>" & [my field goes here] & "</i></span>"

        little difference, and newer versions of HTML may be able to read it without the closing tag... just my 2 cents.
