Thank you. I see the update is available:
https://www.stimulsoft.com/en/changes/r ... t/2026.1.7

When will the live demo site be updated?
It is still running 2026.1.6.4
https://designer.stimulsoft.com/

I'm seeing issues when exporting to .HTML format that I need to need to verify.

Thank you.
I have been testing the 2026.1.7 release extensively internally.
We have an unusual issue related to the Editable HTML fields.

We are using Stimulsoft templates to generate email for customers. Part of our internal processing will take the finalized report, and export it to HTML.

We have been using the following code to export to Html for email, which has been perfectly fine until now.

Code: Select all

                    var exportService = new StiHtmlExportService();
                    var serviceSettings = new StiHtmlExportSettings
                    {
                        ImageResolution = 300,
                        ImageFormat = System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg,
                        ImageQuality = 0.75f, // 1.00 = 100%
                        RemoveEmptySpaceAtBottom = false,
                        UseEmbeddedImages = false,
                        ExportMode = StiHtmlExportMode.Table,
                        ExportBookmarksMode = StiHtmlExportBookmarksMode.ReportOnly
                    };
                    using (var fileStream = File.OpenWrite(exportFile))
                    {
                        exportService.ExportHtml(report, fileStream, serviceSettings);
                    }

I've been testing the report template which I have shared previously, with the HTML bullet point list.

We send the resultant html as an email.
We test with MS Outlook (Classic), which according to reports is still the most used email application in corporate enterprises.
In our Stimulsoft 2018 version, the emails appear as this:

In the Stimulsoft 2026.1.7, the email appears as this:

: Stimulsoft_2026_html_email.png (16.17 KiB) Viewed 10895 times

As you can see, something bad has happened to the left margins of the edited HTML field.
I should point out, if you load the html into a browser, it looks perfectly fine.
If you loaded the email from the 2026.1.7 into the online version of Outlook (OWA), it looks fine.

I look a closer look at the generated html that is generated by both versions:

Exported_html_for_email.zip: (3.34 KiB) Downloaded 73 times

What I am seeing generated by the 2026.1.7 version, is the following style added to the bullet list elements:

Code: Select all

padding-left:2.85em;text-indent:-2.85em;

Each bullet varies in size, but the padding-left is always a mirror of the text-indent. It seems nonsensical to add padding then remove it via indent.

I don't know if you (Stimulsoft) control this part of the code tightly enough to remove this, or if I should seek a third party solution.

Hello.

We would need more time to get an answer for you.
We will let you know as soon as we have any results.

Thank you.

Hello,

We apologise for the delay in replying.
Could you clarify whether you export the report to HTML and then attach that file in Outlook?
Or do you send the file via ‘Send Email’ immediately after exporting it?

We have tested sending your report from the WinForms designer and from the Web viewer.
In both cases, we did not encounter the issue of the text being misaligned; please see the attached images.

Also, please check your issue on the latest release version 2026.2.2.

Thank you.

I have tested the latest release version 2026.2.2.
It has the same issue.
The style includes

Code: Select all

padding-left:2.85em;text-indent:-2.85em;

A reminder, this only occurs in Outlook Classic.

I have put together a working code sample that shows the code we use.
They are very simple steps.

Please remember to update the SMTP and license configuration in code.
