Char. formats(Bold, Underline) in Long text editor not visible in ABAP WD

Hi ABAP experts,
Problem:
I have created long text with using bold and under line formats in long text editor (FM TEXT_ EDIT). I am trying to show same text in WebDynpro using READ_TEXT FM. But FM READ_TEXT is getting long text with HTML tags as shown below for bold and underline and it long text showed as same in WebDynpro application with HTML tags.
Long text shown in webdynpro:
Type your message using the form below. When finished, you can
optionally preview your post by clicking on the <H>"Preview"</> tab.
Otherwise, click the <U><H>"Post Message"</></> button to submit your
message immediately.
Is there any function module available to change format and pass to WebDynpro context?
Thanks
Rajesh Yadla

The normal text editor in Web Dynpro won't handle HTML tags (they get safe encoded as you described). In NetWeaver 7.01 we do introduce a FormattedTextEditor that allows for such formatting. There are APIs to convert from SAPScript based texts to the XHTML FormattedText tags.

Long text editor - sign problem

Hi,
Currently I am facing an issue that the & sign is not being displayed correctly in the Long text editor. It is shown as '<(>&<)>' in the transaction once I input my value in the graphical editor , save and come back.
Please help...
Thanks

Hi Sandra,
I am also talking about the same issue in IW32 and the internal SAP program is not doing a correct conversion due to which the wild characters are entered into the long text window on IW32.
I received an answer for my OSS note and they say it is how the system is ..please see the comments from SAP below ...

Hi,
I am sorry, but the behaviour which you describe is correct.
I will try to explain the meaning of the special characters and
why they have to be there: In Sapscript there are some characters,
which have a special meaning. E.g. a '&' starts a symbol, a '<'
starts a character format, etc. So if you use e.g. a '&' in your
text, this Sapscript needs the information, whether the '&' shall
start a symbol or whether it shall be printed as '&'.
So if you want to print the '&' as '&', the character must be masked.
This is done via the characters <(>...<)>. So when you enter
a '&' (and when it is not sure, whether it may start a symbol),
the Sapscript internally saves the character as <(>&<)>.
Usually this should be no problem: If you process the text via
the Sapscript, you will not notice the masking characters. The
graphical editor will not display them. And if you print the text
via a Sapscript form or a Smartform, you will not see them.
Only if you look into the internal table, which is returned
by EDIT_TEXT or READ_TEXT, you will see the characters.
(and the old Sapscript editor displays them, too, because it
is displays the text in the Sapscript-internal format).
If you process the internal table yourself, you must take this
into consideration. E.g. if you want to convert the
Sapscript-internal ITF format which is returned by EDIT_TEXT
into 'normal' text format, you can use the function module
CONVERT_ITF_TO_ASCII.

Long Text Editor displaying & incorrectly.

Hi Experts,
                Currently I am facing an issue that the & sign is not being displayed correctly in the Long text editor. It is shown as '<(>&<)>' in some places and '&' in others. I understand that the <(> symbol is used as protection for special symbols like &, however this is occuring in some places and not in others. Is there any package which fixes this problem??
                  Please help.
Thanks,
Aditya.

Hi Naimesh,
                   My problem is not with the display of variables in the editor. Consider the case wherein transactional data is displayed in Long text. For example if you go to IW22 and decide to change the text for the notification description. In case you give a & sign in the long text - it will be converted to - '<(>&<)>' , when I log on to see the changes I made the next time. However I want the editor to stop this conversion. Please reply.
Thanks ,
             Aditya.

Long text editor called from report

Hi All,
I have a requirement of displaying long text editor(like the one used for sap script) for maintaining the details for each PO in report column.A similar example is transaction SO10.I will be thankful if anybody can help in this regard.
Thanks,
Sanjay.

Hi,
You will have to use the FM: READ_TEXT, EDIT_TEXT, SAVE_TEXT to achieve this functionality.
This will basically open the text editor as a pop up box ( size will be as sap script editor) for entering some comments against a Purchase Order.
For this FMs, you 'll require Text id, text name, text object and language as parameters to be passed.
thead-tdname = 'Purchase Order No'. " Name
thead-tdid = 'ZQH1'.               " Text ID - E.g. To be created in your system
thead-tdobject = 'VBBK'.   " Texts: application object
thead-tdspras = sy-langu.       " Language Key
Hope this helps.
Regards,

How do I get the bold, underline, italics editing option for Notes on iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.4? Option is not appearing when I select text.

When I select text, I don't get an arrow with additional options. What is shown in the image are the only options I get. Is there something I need to do in Settings or something in order to be able to bold, underline and italicize text?
I

I only have an iPod (but it does have the latest software) but I achieved bold text as follows:
1) touch and hold word to embolden;
2) touch Select;
3) touch the arrow head at the right;
4) touch BIU option section of the option bar;
5) touch the Bold section of the option bar.
Having selected the text, the selection can be narrowed or widened using the blue dot. Also, the Bold, Italics and Underline option bar does not disappear once a section has been made, thus bold and underline can be chosen - touch elsewhere on the screen to remove the option bar. When the selected option bar section background turns grey the software has accepted your request. Note that a first go at achieving this might not work if the software has not correctly picked up your touch and may not present you with the correct options - it is intuitively trying to help you and sometimes misunderstands your touch.

I udate my os to 10.6.7 and since then my Pages have color problems. The text is not visible (white on white background) it does'nt help to change the text color nor background color. I just download the recent trail version of Iworks and install it. The first document I opened it was ok. When I open the second one the problem appear again and stayed. Pls help

This behavior was described many times.
In every occurrence,the operating system was an uncompleted one resulting of the use of Software Update to update the operating system to 10.6.2, 10.6.3, 10.6.4, 10.6.5, 10.6.6, 10.6.7.
In such cases, the solace was to apply a combo updater.
As you are using 10.6.7, download and apply the combo 10.6.7 :

After that, run Software Update which will urge you to apply :

How to use long text editor in Webdynpro

hi ,
I want to use text editor in webdynpro. I want to save the data in long text.
My requirement is the format of data should remain same(It should not get changed).
Thanks
SK

Hi,
use text editor uielement and bind it with a attribute of type string. convert this string into a table using function module
fill another internal table which is type compatible with table of SAVE_TEXT function module.
CONVERT_STRING_TO_TABLE. Call the function module SAVE_TEXT to save this text.
you need to find proper tdobject and tdid value which is to be passed in importing parameter "header".
similarly use FM "READ_TEXT" and convert the returned data into string using FM CONVERT_TABLE_TO_STRING.
Bind the returned table to an attribute of your context. The data will be displayed in the same format in which you entered it.
Thanks

To Maintain Long text for characteristic in O12C , you need to
1) create the Char in T-code O25C with Data type character and click on Proc.Mgmt tab
2) Tick unlimited field situated right of Length and SAVE the char
3) Assign this char in O12C under instruction cattype (0). You can see the indicator in the field Text. Now it will allow to main long text for that char in O12C.

Configuration of the rich text editor not working as expected, can you help?

Hi,
I'm having a great deal of trouble customising the available features of teh rich text editor to the point where I believe there is either a bug, or the documentation is incorrect.
I have defined 3 plugins; edit, format and lists.
I can configure edit to enable or disable features, but format and lists cannot be configured and always display as default no matter what I configure.
Here is the configuration:
<jcr:root xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0" xmlns:nt="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/nt/1.0"
    jcr:primaryType="cq:Dialog"
    xtype="dialog">
    <items jcr:primaryType="cq:WidgetCollection">
        <text
            jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget"
            fieldLabel="Text"
            hideLabel="{Boolean}false"
            name="./text"
            xtype="richtext">
            <rtePlugins jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
                <edit
                    jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
                    features="[cut,copy]"/>
                <format
                    jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
                    features="[bold]"/>
                <lists
                    jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
                    features="[ordered,unordered]"/>
            </rtePlugins>
            <htmlRules jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
                <links
                    jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
                    ensureInternalLinkExt="{Boolean}false"
                    protocols="[http://,https://,mailto:,javascript:]"/>
            </htmlRules>
        </text>
    </items>
</jcr:root>
As you can see I specify only bold for format, and ordered and unordered for lists, but all features are still present (edit however is configured as expected).
Hopefully someone can point out a schoolboy error that I have made, or agree this is a bug.
Thanks in advance
Chris

Nope, upgrade to 5.6.1 makes no difference.
@Jr. Jason - What version of CQ5 are you running where you are seeing the above configured correctly?
Also I've found that I can't enable the image plugin.
I'll raise a support call.

Rich Text Editor not showing up

Hi. I've installed OracleAS 10g Rel 2.
When I try to add text using IE6 the text area is just gray. I have tried to change different attributes in IE but its still gray. I dont know how to debug IE either, I normally use firefox.
Any ideas how I can debug IE, or what I should change on my IE to make the rich text editor show up.
(btw, the installation is on my laptop, using XP pro. Not supportet but generally works fine. I know ppl at Oracle have this working on XP so it should not be the issue).

hi terje,
i just tested this on my 10.1.2 installation using IE6 and it works fine. so it seems not to be any general issue.
2 things i would check:
- does a java scrip error occur on the page when you add/edit a text item. you see this in the left lower corner of the browser.
- check the log files on the application server mid-tier.
- but before starting debugging i would go to another pc and try to access your portal from there. this will show you if your client machine is the problem or if the portal installation is the problem.
regards,
christian
