Used to alter the way the text is formatted before display.
| Auto | The app does its best to guess which of the following options is most appropriate for the current text. |
| None | Displays text as is. |
| Text | Interprets certain characters in the text as formatting characters. Text delimited by _ is _italic_, text delimited by * is *bold* and -- is replaced by a proper em-dash (but see Remap). Note that on my Zaurus only Helvetica supports all combinations of bold and italic and it doesn't have the em-dash character in. Therefore I always use helvetica and the remap filter when I use this option. |
| HTML | Uses a very simple minded filter to remove html mark-up. The filter does limited formatting - it understands headers, bold and italic and begin paragraph tags. |
| Palm | Looks for PML tags to format the text. |
| For e-texts from fictionwise I don't need any of these enabled though using Text and Remap with Helvetica provides the nicest looking text. | |
