styled text and ambersand - ireport .1.2.8

[olehenrik]

Hi,

When using ambersand in styled text field it returns not only the ambersand but the whole styled text.

 

I.e:

select '&' amber
from dual

Three fields in the report, all of them have the is styled text flag on.

1
"<style isUnderline="true" pdfFontName="Helvetica">"+"&"+"</style>"
Returns
<style isUnderline="true">&</style>

2
"<style isUnderline="true" pdfFontName="Helvetica">"+"&"+"</style>"
Returns
<style isUnderline="true">&</style>

3
"<style isUnderline="true" pdfFontName="Helvetica">"+"&"+"</style>"
Returns
<style isUnderline="true" pdfFontName="Helvetica">"&</style>

I'm quite stuck and I'm not able to get this to work. Any help would be most appreciated.
 

I have attached the jrxml file and the results as pdf.

 Regards
Ole Henrik Steinmo

&amp is the solution.

Try something like this to display the ampersand:

"<style isUnderline="true" pdfFontName="Helvetica">this is an amersand u0026</style>"
