Usage
This function typically increases the length of a string. This can cause unpredictable results when
performing certain string functions (

Right
, and
Mid
, for example) against the expanded
string.
The only difference between this function and
HTMLEditFormat
is that
HTMLEditFormat
does
not surround the text in an HTML
pre
tag.
