So, how does the display form decide what it has?

What if I put in html examples, like this:

<b>This shouldn't be displayed bold!</b>

What happens if I mix STX and HTML?

This is a pretty unsatisfactory solution.
DWIM is being reomved from Zope with Zope 3, why are you itnroducing it on Zope.org so it can cause similar problems there?!

Less is more... :-)

Make a test. Use some STX content, after change it to HTML or Plain text...

You will see that all text types works automagicaly... ;-)

How do I specify what text type I'm using?!

Go to:
http://www.zope.org/Members/chrisw/copy_of_Squishdot/swpackage_edit_form

All I see is a description box, nothing that lets me say "I'm using STX" or "I'm using HTML"...

PLEASE RE-OPEN THIS ISSUE!!!

Now you can use any text type for software package description.

How do you specify whether the description of a software package is plain text, STX or HTML?
