Re: [Web-erp-developers] CVS updates

One other thing about this help system.  Since it is user/admin input into
records and regenerated into an html page, the code needs to be cautious
about what html and php commands are used, if any.  Some are handy, and many
forum packages allow such as phpbb including commands like bold, highlight,
paragraph, list, etc.  Of course, for paragraph there is a php command that
can recognize them and format appropriately.

If only admin has access then not too dangerous but still probably good to
keep people from shooting themselves in the foot!
