Hidden Item with html code views as text

Question

I am creating dynamic headers for a report and want every space in the header to be replaced with an html line break . How do I get APEX to recognize the break character instead of making it text.
Thanks,
Gary

Answer 1

I tried to set the headers via pl/sql, but got a "LONG" error.
DECLARE
i_facility NUMBER := :p50_facility;
o_heading VARCHAR2 (2000);
v_heading VARCHAR2 (2000);
v_space_location NUMBER := 0;
v_prev_location NUMBER := 0;
