HTML Markup

  • For fields that contain HTML markup, add the html2fo: prefix to the path, for example:

    <?html2fo:productSpecificationFullDTO/specificationSectionDetail/specificationSectionFoodRecipeAndRawMaterialsSection/businessLanguageIngredientsList?>
    
  • If a text field contains formatting such as bullet points, the formatting will only render if the XML data is wrapped in a CDATA tag with the necessary formatting tags. In the RTF template, the path must also include the ?html2fo tag (as above).

    If coded appropriately in the XML, the HTML formatting features supported by BI Publisher are as follows (see the Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher Report Designer's Guide for full details):

    • Hyperlinks

    • Lists

    • Bulleted and ordered lists

    • Paragraph

    • Font style (bold, italic, plain, underline, subscript, superscript, strike-through)

    • Font size and family

    • Background and foreground colors

    • Paragraph alignment (center, left, right, and justify) and indent
