HTML tags in Report

Hi,
I am trying to create a report using APEX. I am using a word template - report layout. but some of the columns does have html tags in the data itself. (eg <b> etc) How can I get to display this in my report.
Also for some Fields I am using the Old English Text font we have in Word. But when it comes to display the report in PDF those special fonts are displayed as ordinary ones. any IDea how to get this working?
Thanks
Meenu

Hi Meenu,
This is the same problem as in another thread where you replied. I don't have an answer yet. The problem is probably due to the html data is rendered when you show it in a browser but doesn't get rendered when printing in pdf (by BI Publisher).
I see some possibilities:
- call a function in plsql that transforms your html to xml and sent that to BIP
- configure BIP so that it gets rendered correctly
I don't have the answer right now. I hope Marc can answer it before, otherwise I'll investigate it in a week.

How to Capture html tags in Report output

Hi
i'm working on a report in apex. the data i've captured has html tags in the column information. is there a way to capture those tags in the report output?
Thanks in advance,
Edited by: user13080645 on Feb 23, 2011 1:38 AM

Hi,
Go to report attribute page and select that column and "Standard Report Column" in "Display As".
You can show the html tag in report.

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

Help needed in formating the text using HTML tags in reports 10g

Hi all,
I have a situation here. We have an application which prints out Reports with a few lines of text in it. This text is entered by the user through our forms application in a field. That particular text is stored in each row of a particular long column. Here I want to modify the text, while printing, on the report like underline, bold, italics etc,.
As of now I am using the HTML tags, in the forms, to do so as most the times the text in the report is same.
I want to know if this can be done by the user itself while he is entering the data in the field through the form.
Thanks in advance . I will explain you more clearly if you need.

Html tags in oracle reports

If fields of tables in my database contain html tags such as 'H2O' (here is html tag 'sub') or 'sometext'(here is html tag 'b') how can I to make Report Builder 6i to understand these tags? In other words - can Report Builder understand and treat html tags to format output layout?
Or how in another way I can format a part of text inside the field?
Example:
The below text comes from database and contains html tags.
<B> THIS IS DEMO TEXT TO TEST HTML TAGES IN REPORTS </B>
<TD ><B><FONT COLOR="#336699" FACE="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" SIZE="2">Technology Centers
</FONT></B></TD>
<html><body dir=&Direction bgcolor="#ffffff"> </body></html>
<html><body dir=&Direction bgcolor="#ffffff">this is test</body></html>

Hello Learnotd,
Depending on your requirements, you can do one of the following:
1. In Reports Builder, you can set the default values for the DESFORMAT system parameter to HTML, DESTYPE to FILE and DESNAME to the desired output file name, in the object navigator. Now, running the report will generate it to the HTML file, instead of displaying it in the previewer.
2. If you are using the command-line executables, 'destype=file' and 'desformat=html' arguments will produce HTML output (using rwcli60, rwcgi60 or rwrun60) to the file specified by desname.
3. If you calling Reports from Forms, desformat=html should be included in the run_report_object call.
Thanks,

i m using the forms 10 g rel 2 and reports 10 g rel 2 and application server 10g rel 2.

Set the Contains HTML Tags property of an object to Yes, then the tags in the object's text (if any) will be used to format the object.

Embedding html tags within a report

I have an interactive report in which I'd like to indicate new table entries.
I have a case statement on a column that checks the date that the entry was added and if it was added recently I concatenate a gif to the column value which indicates "New" entry. This works great in a standard report but when I add the code snippet to an interactive report it displays the html img tag rather than the actual image. Can anyone tell what I need to do to cause the report to render the image rather than just display the html tag?
Thanks.

Hello,
In your Report Attributes, make sure that your columns Display Text As is set to Standard Report Column. I expect it's set to display as text?

Dimitri

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

Interactive Report with html tags --- Data saved in Excel with html tags

Hello,
I am using APEX 4.0. I have an interactive report that displays some of the columns bold and / or colors using html tags. As an example,
SELECT
'''<font color="green"><b>'' || SERIAL_NUMBER || ''</b></font>'' SERIAL_NUMBER,'||chr(10)||
'PRODUCT_NAME,'||chr(10)||
'''<font color="teal"><b>'' || PRODUCT_DESC || ''</b></font>'' DESC,'||chr(10)||
'QUANTITY,'||chr(10)||
FROM
<Table name>
At runtime, the Interactive Report displays the fonts, colors correctly; however, when I save the data of the Interactive Report in an Excel format, it saves the Html tags along in the EXCEL spreadsheet. For example, the column serial number from the above SELECT statement is extracted in an Excel column as ---
<font color="green"><b>123456789</b></font>
Is there another way to render the column data so that extracted data will not display the HTML tags or is removing the html font color tags from the SELECT statement the only option?
Thanks in advance.
Ed

How to exlcude HTML Tags from Excel Reports

Hi Guys
Within Project Online - OData extract to Excel
Has anyone found a way to eliminate the HTML tags from Multi Line Text fields within Project Server? I can easily extract the text and generate nice Excel Reports, but the html tag is very annoying in the Excel Reports and it doesn't read easily.
Any help would be appreciated.
Marc Soester [MVP] http://marcsoester.blogspot.com

Marc,
What you could do (given that you find the required time and energy to write the lines),
would be to replace all (!) html characters like here (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14705605/remove-html-tags-from-cell-strings-excel-formula -
this is one of the Excel UDF/VB-based solutions, but will not refresh in Excel Services - however there is a good list of what to replace) with PowerQuery.
That would refresh over a PowerBI subscription in the least..

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.
cheers,
jamie

Does Html tags interprets by oracle reports 10g?

Hi everyone,
I created a tabular style report on a table in which one of the column is like the following
TEST_TABLE
test_table_id 1
test_table_dsc aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbcccccccccccccccccccdddddddddddddddddddddddddd
when i diplaying this record in the oracle reports i want to break that test_table_dsc column like this
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
i used the HTML "br" tag and set the "contain HTML tag property " to Yes
Changed the database column like the following aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa "br"
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb "br"
ccccccccccccccccccc "br"
dddddddddddddddddddddddddd
It is interpreting some other tags like bold tag "b" and underline tag "u"..But if i put the "br" tag it is not interpreting.It is just showing like that. Is there any other way to do line breaks (according the requirement)

Hi Phani,
I just tried with the value specified by you. Here is my report :)
I have created a report with a formula column which returns following text:
"<html><body>< i >< b >a< /i >< /b >< br >bb< br >ccc< br >dddd< /body >< /html >" (without double quotes). And I set the field's "Contains HTML Tags" property to Yes.
And my observations are:
1. Many times I tried in paper layout, it is simply showing the HTML code, but not parsing the tags. :(
Now executed the report from browser using http://localhost:889/reports/rwservlet.....
2. If DesType=HTML, everthing is fine and I got the result as I expected. and the result is displayed below
<b><i>a</i></b>
bb
ccc
dddd
3. If DesType=pdf. the result is NOT as expected. And I found only bold < b > and < i > tags are interpreted/parse but no other html tags as specified in help. The output is:
< html >< body ><b><i>a</i></b>< br >bb< br >ccc< br >dddd< /body >< /html >
This is same with DesType=RTF.
Conclusion:
* Full HTML tags are supported only when you run a report with DesType=HTML and ContainsHtmlTags=YES.
* When DesType is PDF and RTF only limited HTML tags are supported/parsed. Those are Text Style (bold, italics, underline, and strikethrough) and Text Attributes (font name, font color, and font size) as specified in help (you mentioned the same in above post).
* Even paper layout supports the same limited tags, but not all HTML tags.
Cheers,
Gouri Sankar

Hi Ram,
You can create a postscript file or a PDF file and give that
to the print shop for printing. It's pretty easy. Go to the File
menu, choose Generate to File, and then choose Postscript or PDF.
Note that Reports will use the driver for the printer to which
you are connected at the time you generate the file. You may have
to do some tests to make sure that that printer driver is
compatible with that of the print shop. I would generate a test
file from Reports and see if it works with their printer.
