How complex would it be to add formatted text for manually entered windows on the Abilities Tab in 3.5/Pathfinder? (and CoreRPG I assume)

CoreRPG doesn't have this section in the PC character sheet. Something similar is in psicodelix's CoreExtended ruleset though.

In the 3.5e ruleset, the main complexity is backwards compatibility - all of the PCs previously created with ability data of type=string would need to be converted to type=formattedtext in the campaign database. Also data currently there would need to be parsed for multiple lines (/n character) and replaced the the paragraph tag <p>.

Then library modules (feat and ability lists etc.) would need to be updated or code added to convert those on the fly (if that is possible without breaking the windowclasses used in the library).

So it's somewhat involved, but probably not impossible.
