Any chance of supporting additional HTML tags like lists and style tags rather than the old school html tags?

Hello,

At this moment we don't plan support additional HTML tags in our report engine. Sorry.

Thank you.

So, technically, there is no HTML support in Stimulsoft.Wpf for enterprise level application developers.

Do you (dear forum members) have any idea how to work around the problem? Third-party library to render HTML into... image or something and put it into report image component?

Hello,

You can try convert html to rtf and display rtf file in report. Example you can find in attachment.

Thank you.

Thank you for advice, but...
Even for extremely simple HTML content like attached one (simple text with right-aligned logo), the result is unacceptable - there is no logo image, only plain text.

Any other ideas, please?

Hello,

Our HTML editor is used for simple text decoration (making text underlined, bold etc). HTML text is a complex task and does not related to reporting tool. In future we do not plan to extend HTML tags support.

Thank you.

I can clearly understand that. I'm not asking you for adding full HTML support, you should keep good work on reporting features.
On the other side using fine descriptions in HTML format and printing them is quite common these days, isn't it?
This is why I am searching for any idea how to print full HTML content.

So, any ideas?

Hello,

Unfortunately, there is no simple solution for this issue because any of them are far from reporting. It also includes much of code.

Thank you.

The simple (and the best) solution is to bind HTML data to a component. Unfortunately, this won't work.

If you have good solution - describe it, please. No code needed, just description.
If you have any idea of how to print well-rendered HTML with Stimulsoft report - give it to us, either.

More code or less code - doesn't matter, the goal is to have fine HTML in Stimulsoft reports. Writing code is our work, I believe.

Hello,

Unfortunately, we do not have samples how to do this. We know that this is a problem. One of our users loaded HTML text to MSWord using OLE binding. Then he saved HTML as RichText, and then printed this text. Unfortunately, we do not have a sample of this workaround.

Thank you.
