To select HTML tags from the database:
Create a query, with a SELECT statement that selects a column containing HTML tags or the names of files that contain HTML tags.
In the Data Model view, double-click the HTML tags column to display the Property Inspector.
If the column contains the names of files that contain the HTML tags, rather than the HTML tags themselves:
Under the Column node, set the Read from File property to Yes.
Set the File Format property to Text.
In the Paper Layout view, create a field object that references the column.
Double-click the field object to display the Property Inspector.
In the Property Inspector, under the Web Settings node, set the Contains HTML Tags property to Yes.
When the text object's Contains HTML Tags property is set to Yes, HTML tags and attributes are formatted in your report output as follows:
If the report is generated to HTML or HTMLCSS output, all HTML tags and attributes are interpreted and formatted in the output.
If the report is generated to other bitmap output formats (for example, PDF, RTF, PostScript), a fixed set of HTML tags and attributes are interpreted and formatted in the output, as described in About HTML formatting. Any HTML coding not in the supported set of tags and attributes is not interpreted, and appears as is in the report output.
