Display HTML formatted string in PDF

2006-08-15 12:04

How do I display a string with HTML formatting in PDF?

 

An example string field value is:

 

<p>Paragraph 1</p><p /><p>This is paragraph 2.</p><blockquote dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"><p>End.</p></blockquote>

 

I want to display this without the tags and retain the proper formatting in PDF.

 

Thanks,

Joey

JasperReports only supports a limited set of HTML formatting, as shown in the styledtext sample. Also, you must remember to set the isStyledText attribute to true in your text field if you want the engine to parse those tags.

Now I just need to upgrade the JasperReports (0.6.1) that I'm using. Formatting with <style> works but HTML tags do not work in my old version.

What version of JasperReports did HTML tags get implemented?

 

Thanks,

Joey

JasperReports supports a few common HTML tags starting from 1.0.1
