Using HTML in report design

2004-12-29 10:46

Hi guys,

 

If I use HTML directly in the report design XML, it is displayed back as HTML in the browser (i.e. the user sees the HTML tags). Is there a way to override this so I can send HTML into jasper and use that HTML to format the output?

 

I don't need absolute positioning etc - I just want to use HTML formatting.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers,

 

Steve

I am looking for the same feature. I need to generate printable reports where the user can add some html text....

Hi,

 

Check the /demo/samples/markup sample provided with the JR project package.

But since we are talking about a text field element feature, don't expect HTML layout tags such as tables or divs to work (or even images for that matter).

 

I hope this helps.
