Text strings take into account font style settings from both Appearance properties and HTML tags

A font style (font weight, size and format) can be set in Appearance settings, and with HTML tags. Previously, all font style settings from Appearance properties were discarded for text blocks formatted with HTML tags. To apply both style sets, you had to manually turn the static StringParser.KeepFontStyle property on. Starting with version 19.2, this setting is enabled by default.

C#
simpleButton1.AllowHtmlDraw = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.True;
simpleButton1.Appearance.FontStyleDelta = FontStyle.Bold;
simpleButton1.Text = "One <i>Two</i> Three";
//v19.1 and earlier: "One" and "Three" are written in bold, "Two" is italic
//v19.2 and newer: "One" and "Three" are bold, "Two" is bold and italic
Visual Basic
simpleButton1.AllowHtmlDraw = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.True
simpleButton1.Appearance.FontStyleDelta = FontStyle.Bold
simpleButton1.Text = "One <i>Two</i> Three"
'v19.1 and earlier: "One" and "Three" are written in bold, "Two" is italic
'v19.2 and newer: "One" and "Three" are bold, "Two" is bold and italic

To revert to the previous behavior, you can set StringParser.KeepFontStyle to false.
