Enhanced Formatting - Inline HTML : Oracle Reports 10g

New formatting: This release greatly enhances the formatting capabilities, for example,
the capability to use inline HTML tags, user-defined style sheets, and so on.


Enhanced Formatting: Inline HTML
Oracle Reports allows a variety of fonts, styles, and colors for text objects in your
reports. If you need to apply different formatting to different words within a text field,
you can use HTML tags for formatting and set the object's Contains HTML Tags
property to Yes. However, until now, such formatting could be seen only in HTML
and HTMLCSS output.
 

Steps to create an inline HTML formatting in a text field.
  1. Open "Report Builder 10g" and connect to a schema.
  2. Navigate to layout builder option and create a text item.
  3. Copy the html code of the formatted text into the text item.
  4. Navigate to the text item and open property inspector.
  5. Set the 'Contains HTML Tags' option to "Yes".
  6. Use the Paper Design to view the formatted text display
