The allowRichText property
Specifies whether the text may include styling (also known as rich text). The supported types of styling are

the allowRichText attribute informs the XFA application whether or not to present styling controls in
the UI; it does not limit the user's ability to type plain text which might be interpreted by some
down-stream application as styling. For instance, the user could type
<b>hello</b>
regardless of the
setting of the property.
The value of this property must be one of the following:
