Apologies, I am new to Jasper studio. I have a textfield that comprises text imported from a resource file. In the text field, a substring within one of the strings is replaced with a variable (a field $F{}) imported from a database. I need this variable to appear in bold in the exported file. I have tried creating a new variable using the <style isBold='true'></style> tags with markup of the textfield set to styled. I have also tried integrating this directly into the text field. I am not getting an error. I am not getting unconverted tags. I am simply seeing no result whatsoever. Does anyone know what might be going wrong? Is it even possible to do this? Several responses on StackOverflow have said they suspect this is not possible in JasperStudio and I just want to be sure before I throw this back to the client. Thank you.
