Is there a way of using RTF long text fields in XMLP templates.

  • 1.  Is there a way of using RTF long text fields in XMLP templates.

    Posted 06-21-2011 02:55 AM
    Hi All,

    We are currently looking at using the new RTF capability on fields provided in People Tool 8.5x to store formatted text that will use italics, symbols, superscripts and subscripts and other formatting. Our goal is to generate reports using this formatted text using XMLP to generate a PDF report. We have tested using the field directly in our template and although XMLP still generates, the data is displayed with all the markup tags with no translation.

    Does anyone have a method of inserting the RTF field data into an XMLP to display the formatted text as stored in the field.

    Any ideas greatly appreciated.

    Thanks
