Hi Christopher,

That's exactly what I was thinking - not only that but its quite limited 
as a field. I did something very similar here:
http://www.bindmans.com/index.php?id=92

The team listing is a big TS generated menu really, and I'm grabbing 
some things from other fields along the way (photos, headlines to team 
members, position status, etc) and then displaying them as I want/need.

In this case I'm obviously using stdWrap post/pre object a lot in the 
process.

(I'm aware this could also be done using a CONTENT item and a rendering 
definition, but as far as I can tell the menu is the same thing in a 
sense and work perfect for me in this instance)

Hope that helps you Darko.

Tyler
