If I could remember how to sneak into the code that renders the list
item html  Field correctly I think I would be golden. I don't remember
how. Could it just be the aspx page  layout for list items? Or is this
going to be C# (that I just don't know well yet). I thought I could find
what I was looking for in AllItems.aspx because the same site column
renders the HTML correctly there. AllItems.aspx makes reference to other
code. I'm hoping to find out which control AllItems.aspx uses that
writes <h1> to the page instead of <h1>

Could it be that since I'm using in the display layout  a
SharePointWebControls:NoteField that renders textarea and not a data
control like AllItems.aspx might use (label, or div) that is why it
won't render?

If anybody knows what I might need to override to custom develop a
WebControl that will render  right maybe that is all I need.

Because of what I am integrating (TinyMCE) it has to be a textarea in
the HTML for the TinyMCE.js to find the html element. Other than
displaying after you save, it works beautifully as a Rich text  Editor in
SharePoint and is super-easy to implement.
