isStyledText=true yet still style tags appear

[martynhiemstra]

Hi All,

I would like to inform if there is maybe a bug in the textElement tag. If I set isStyledText to true like this:

<textElement isStyledText="true" lineSpacing="Single">
    <font fontName="Courier New" size="10" pdfEncoding ="Cp1250" isStrikeThrough="false" />
</textElement>

I then set the text to something like this:

<style isUnderlined='true'>TEXT</style>

When I view the report in the jasperviewer or print the report I see this in the textField.

<style isUnderlined='true'>TEXT</style>

Somehow the style tag isn't parsed. I have set isStyledText="true", I have tried different encodings. Even set the encoding to html and tried to print html but nothing is working. The tags are NOT getting parsed. I am using jasperreports 3.0.0

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Martyn

I found the bug. If your CDATA has the character & (operand) in it then style tags aren't parsed. I replaced all instances of & with & and now it works. This bug has been in jasperreports for over 2 years. I finally know why it only happened every now and then.

Hi,

 

You would have not considered this a bug if you would have looked at the /demo/samples/styledtext sample that we provide with the JasperReports project distribution for years now.

Thanks,

Teodor
