HTML Tags are not displayed properly in Linux

Post by gokulanand »

I have an existing MRT created using .Net Framework. The MRT have a text box with the text "Hello <b>World</b>". AllowHTMLTags attribute is set to True. When I export this mrt into pdf in .Net Framework, it is displayed properly ( "World" in bold letters )

I am migrating from .Net Framework to .Net Core and the export to pdf is working as expected in Windows OS. But when I try to export to PDF on a linux machine in .Net Core, the HTML tags are not working as expected. The text box doesnt display any text in PDF.

Can you please help.

Thanks

Hello,

HTML-tags support is implemented through the GDI system library, which is available only on Windows.
We have added checks, now on non-Windows systems, HTML-tags will work in previews(HTML) and export to Word/Excel.
in other cases, it will be displayed as plain text.

Full support for HTML-tags - a very difficult task for multi-platform.
We have this task in the to-do list, but due to the high complexity, the dates are unknown.

Thank you.

Hello
Please check if the issue is still present in 2020.2.1. Because, we have improved the algorithm for exporting reports and dashboards to a PDF file for JS and .NET Core components.
Thank you
