Export without HTML tags

Hello,
I have written my own PL/SQL export to Excel function, basing on Denes’ procedure.
Unfortunately I’m facing problem with some of my views and columns that contains a lot of text. I show such a data as shorter version of DB content, i.e. “This is…” instead of “This is my sentence”. I do it using HTML tags.
Procedure does export automatically.
Do you have any idea how to put whole sentences in Excel file without writing separate SQL statements for view and export?
Regards,
Przemek

You can use the HTMLtoText class
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/microsoft.exchange.data.textconverters.htmltotext_members(v=exchg.150) there is a sample Transport Agent for doing that

Recordset xml export WITH html tags

Hi there,
I am trying a rather simple thing (I hope) but cannot figure it out how to do it.
I created a dynamic xml (.php) file using the export recordset as xml behaviour. The generated xml works fine when I use spry to display it. The downside is that html tags are converted to something like this (I understand that these are the greater then and lesser then signs used in html):
<strong>fringilla</strong>
In the html document where I use spry to display this xml, the < etc are converted back to < and >, but the html is not rendered.
I tried cdata, but somehow cannot get this to work. I also cannot get dsSpecials.setColumnType("quote_tekst", "html"); to render the xml as correct html.
Can someone tell me how to do this? Database and xml are both utf-8.
Kind regards and big thanks in advance if you can help (it is really appreciated ;-D),
Ben

Sorry about that, don't know what happened in that last post..formatting I guess, here's the whole reply - xml enclosed w/ a pre - thanks again.<br /><br />Hi Günter,<br /><br />Thanks so much for the info. I have been diligently trying to use CDATA and read the generated XML, but still I'm not seeing the HTML text rendereed in my detail section.<br /><br />The XML is setup from my mySQL data as:<br /><pre> <br /><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><br /><CurrentSpecials><br /> <special><br /> <name> Caribbean Sun </name><br /> <detail> <h1>special deal!!</h1><p style="color:#00f;"><strong>Join us</strong>!</h1> </detail><br /> <expire> 2007-08-31 00:00:00 </expire><br /> <rating> highest </rating><br /> </special><br />...<br /></pre><br />and I want the detail to render in my div (or I'll add a table/textarea...) as the html indicates. I'm not having any luck w/ using CDATA for it - it's probably just me - I'm just starting out with this stuff. Any pointers in the right direction? I'm getting the detail as {dsList:detail} and somehow need to say - this is html. I've tried using javascript and php to render it.<br /><br />I could I guess just echo the detail on a mouseclick without a spry but didn't want to have to do all the implementation myself - I wanted to take advantage of dreamweaver's functionality! <br /><br />Thanks so much for looking at this - any help is so much appreciated!!

Hello cornelius.
For one, you need to select RTF for message composition and not Plain Text.
Select/highlight the text you want for the hyperlink and at the menu bar, go to Edit and select Add Hyperlink.
Enter the URL in the space provided and be sure to include http://
Select OK when finished.

HTML Tags escape while exporting to PDF

Hi friends,
I have two columns in my BI report like
Business Group(BG) and OU
Since in the BG column under the edit formula i used the html tags to show each and every BG column value in bold like below
'<b>' || "D1.Company"."Business Group Full Name" || '</b>'
Now the report is appearing fine in answers and dashboard but when i export the same report to PDF i can see the html tags in each and every name of the BG group.
Is there anything to be done to escape these html tags in PDF while exporting.
And also if we give the tooltip for the numeric columns like below under the column properties-->Data format-->Custom like
[html]<p title=\""Employee Count" \">#
And after that if i tried to escape the same report with the tooltip on the numeric column to pdf means, the number values are missing for the entire column in the PDF, but this case is not appearing while exporting the report to pdf if i set the tooltip to the text column, as the values is missing only for the tooltip of the numeric column. What could be the fix for this problem.
Thanks
Regards,
Saro

Hi svee,
Thanks for the reply.
For an example i tried with the bold option in the edit formula inorder to portray the html tags problem while exporting it to the pdf inspite of using the default bold option within the column properites like u said.
Suppose if i used html tags like
<br>, </br>
in the edit formula section or if i used any other html tags which is not present as a default option in bi like bold. At that time while exporting the report to pdf i can face the issue.
And also i need ur suggestion regarding with the values disappearing for the numeric column if a tooltip is used in it while exporting it to the pdf.

Saro

When Exported in PDF reports displays HTML Tags

Hi All,
Business Object XI R2
WebI Report
I am Reporting on Oracle CLOBs. This CLOB contains Data with HTML Tags, Clearly this CLOB is the combination of DATA formatted in HTML tags.
When I create a WebI Reports on this (CLOB) WebI displays correctly in the sence data only.
When I export this report to PDF; The PDF display contains both data with HTML tags as well.
Is there any solution/workaround or any setting in the BO Server to overcome/solve this issue.
Appreciated you prompt help.
Thanks,
Ashok

Christine,
My question is wether Adobe support CLOBs or not.
I was reported on oracle CLOBs (This CLOBs contains data wrapped in HTML tags), by using Business Object Web Intelligence. This WebI displaying the reports as I desire, there is no problem, in WebI. WebI displaying data with no HTML Tags.
My problem is that when I export this WebI report, this Adobe is getting HTML tags, why? Since this WebI is not displaying the HTML tags, since adobe does not know wether there is a HTML tags or not.
Apprecited your prompt reply.
Thanks,
Ash

Export tiff without RichTIFFIPTC tags

When exporting tiff images I get an error opening them in my custom ImageMagick extension.
wrong data type 7 for "RichTIFFIPTC"; tag ignored
Though it says the tag is ignored, the file fails to open.
When I take those tiffs and resave them as tiffs in GIMP they do not error and open fine.
Is there a way to save tiffs from photoshop without these tags?

Both of the scripts in that thread do not work. Image Processor will strip only for a jpg. I need to save as TIFF.
The other picture processor just doesn't seem to work "PicProcessor is undefined" line 8
do you know of any other scripts that may accomplish this?

Hi Nr
Here is how I approached this problem.
Go to report attributes tab
under column attributes check PLSQL radio button.
Create a function to return the heading of your report as shown below in your database.
create function get_heading return clob as
v_request VARCHAR2(20) := V('REQUEST');
v_col_heading CLOB;
begin
IF INSTR(v_request,'FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT',1) > 0 THEN
v_col_heading := 'Employee Number:Employee Name';
ELSE
v_col_heading := 'Employee breaktag Number:Employee break tag Name';
END IF;
return v_col_heading;
end;
Type the function below under ( Function returning colon delimited headings:) as follows.
return get_heading;
Similarly for data base it on PLSQL function body returning SQL and follow the same approach as headings.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Sukarna

Remove Html tags from export Crystal report Setting i

Hi,
I ma using CR 2008, BOXI 3.1 , Oracle
i)When ever i try to export i export it into CSV format and i am getting HTML tags , how do we remove them
ii) My second question is; I have a crystal report that is given by my friend and when ever i open it i ma getting a error saying UFL u2lgmt.dll missing .
i am using a java version ; How to overcome this?

hi Venkatesh,
regarding the first question...you need to replace these tags manually in a formula and have that formula on the report instead of the db field.
e.g.
stringvar s:= {your field};
s:= replace(s, '<div>', '');
s:= replace(s, '</div>', '');
you'll have to do this for any potential tag in the field unfortunately.
please post question 2 as a new discussion as per the forum rules.

Html tags added while exporting to csv

Hi,
I am facing issue of html tags got added to some columns while exporting report to the csv format.
Can anyone help me for this .
Thanks,
Vivek

The TextArea is being included in the csv file probably because it is added to the select query. The main report query has
select apex_item.hidden(49,triagemd5_wptg||triagemd5_compare) || APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(34,triagemd5_wptg||triagemd5_compare) checksel, id,APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(35, response, ''Will Fix;Will Fix,Will Not Fix;Will Not Fix,Not an Issue;Not an Issue'','''',''YES'','''','''') , APEX_ITEM.TEXTAREA(45,comments,0,0,''onMouseOver="title=this.value;" style="width:200px;font: 12px/16px Arial,sans-serif;height:50px; border:0 none; overflow:hidden"'')
This was implemented like this because the no. in the 1st column of the API (eg. 45 for apex_item.textarea) is needed to write the values to DB. If the textarea and formatting is added as part of report column attribute then writing comments and response to DB will fail.

Escape HTML content without escaping tags

How can I escape HTML content without escaping the HTML tags?

Thanks for the info. The select statement worked for me when I ran it with the inputs below but when I tried to put the statement in my code it didn't work. Can you have a look and see what I may have done wrong?
Thanks
Karen
My code looks like this:
FUNCTION escape_varchar(p_text_in IN VARCHAR2, p_encode IN NUMBER)
    RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
    p_text_out VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
    p_text_out := DBMS_XMLGEN.CONVERT(utl_i18n.escape_reference(unistr(REPLACE(p_text_in,'\','\\')),'US7ASCII'),p_encode);
    RETURN p_text_out;
END escape_varchar;
p_text_in =

Escaping HTML tags in Excel report export

Hello,
I have a classic report on an entry form that allows users to enter any character off the keyboard into a description field. The problem is that when users enter brackets ( greater than , less than ), APEX will handle them as HTML tags ( does not display all the text after the less than character) . I tried to change that column type to "display as text , escape special characters" but that did not help. So I had to user the htf.escape_sc function for that column and the report works just fine.
however, the problem is that none of the solutions above worked for Excel export of that report. Can anybody tell me how to escape such special characters in the excel export of a report ???
Thanks,
Sam

Where are the experts! it makes me feel like either no body has had this issue before (which seems odd) or that it is impossible to be resolved. Any suggestions will be appreciated..
Thanks,

Why is the preview generated by "export to html" appear without formatting or background?

I use Muse to design my site, but upload via Filezilla. After making a change to one page, I exported to html, and the preview that appears has the entire website stripped of formatting, and everything appears as a bulleted list. I haven't uploaded it yet. Can anyone help? I'm totally frustrated. Thanks!!!

Closing this thread as the issue was resolved by publishing to a clean folder during chat with support.

How to make muse export to html and image/asset files only without css and jquery?

Hi there adobe community,
I am here today to see if there is a way of only exporting a muse site as html with the css integrated in like dreamweaver does. Therer probably is no way to do this. However, i dont want external .css files and .js files i want them all in the html file, is there a way to do this. The reason i want to know is because my client wants no external files and only wants an image and html documents. I told him that it might not be possible and i want to know if it is. If you could help me that would be great.
Thankyou For Your Time.

Hi Pink,
When Muse exports as HTML , It exports everything separately like the HTML files , .Css files in a different folder and the .js files in a different folder. There is no way in Muse that you can export in any other way.
This is because a lot of the Css properties are used all across the site and not only on a particular page and so these properties are shared.
Moreover this is a much more efficient way of designing a website rather than keeping everything in a single file.

thanks in advance !

Hi, Chris-
I can't seem to reproduce this on my side. Can you please send me a link to your static files so that I can try to reproduce? I created a simple static file that had <img src="images/myImage.png" />, and it published with the same markup.
