Hi Rick, Feel free to use any of the EdSharp source code, and to ask questions about it. EdSharp uses the RichTextBox control extensively, including RTF options related to bold, underline, italics, subscript, superscript, and justification (most people mainly use the text orcoding features, but significant RTF support is there, too). EdSharp also includes many snippets for HTML code insertions. You might also look at the .NET WebBrowser control.
