In this catgegory change the text properties of the report elements.

The text interpretation is only available for database and formula fields with data type String. Also, it is available for some special field objects. It is possible to choose between six types of text interpretation.

Only new lines, carriage returns and tabs are interpreted. This Text Interpretation can be used for unformatted continuous text.

The Microsoft RTF format. Character formatting, paragraph formatting, bullet lists and numbering are supported.

Hypertext Markup Language.
Tags for character formatting, paragraph formatting, images, bullet lists and numbering are supported.
This type of Text Interpretation can be used for HTML formatted continuous text. Long words will be wrapped or cut if necessary and never clipped on the border. The following tags are supported:

Displays the content of the referenced field as HTML with support for HTML 4.01 and CSS 2.1. The content is rendered by i-net JWebEngine.

This advances option should be used whenever the content uses HTML features other than text styling. Especially if you want to print a real website this mode is recommended.

This type of Text Interpretation:

• is remarkably slower than HTML (basic)
• is most useful for layouts using HTML items.
  • If the field is to narrow for a HTML structure (table, DIV, large word) then it will be clipped on the right border of the field. In a browser you would normally see a scroll pane but this is not possible in printing and displaying reports on a page.

In HTML export the field is mapped to an DIV element with a width and hight. In RTF export it is painted as a vector image (WMF).

The property formula can be used to set the text interpretation dynamically or depending on a database field or parameter field value. In the property formula you can use the text interpretation constants.

Markdown is a plain text format that is easy to read and easy to write. It is usually used to convert texts into HTML without writing any HTML. The CommonMark dialect is the most basic, well defined set of formatting instructions. The following instructions are supported:

* List entry
  * Sub entry
  * Sub entry
    * Sub entry

- List entry
  - Sub entry
  - Sub entry
    - Sub entry

1. List entry
  1. Sub entry
  1. Sub entry
    1. Sub entry

1) List entry
  1) Sub entry
  1) Sub entry
    1) Sub entry

The i-net CoWork flavored Markdown adds additional hyperlinks and a slightly different line break handling, which does not ignore empty lines.

Sets the base URL for a relative hyperlink in the AdvancedHtmlText text interpretation. If a hyperlink URL is relative, it is viewed as relative to this base URL. Setting an empty string causes the default behavior (URLs are viewed as relative to the report server location).

This sets the language of numeric characters (symbols). Independent of the language, all numbers are printed as decimal numerals. The symbols used for numerals differ depending on the area. With this property you can set the symbols that should be used. For a description of Arabic numeral symbols, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_numerals.This property can be set for numeric, date, time and date time fields.

Allows manual formatting of a field by way of a formula. If a formula is specified, its result (which must be a string) will be displayed in place of the field's value. For example, null values could be displayed as the string "n/a" by way of specifying the formula.

 if isnull(currentfieldvalue) then
    	"n/a" else ToText(currentfieldvalue)

Choose whether the object should be shown in the left, right or center part of the selection.
The property formula can be used to set the alignment dynamically or depending on database field or parameter field value. In the property formula you can use alignment constants.

Sets the orientation of the glyphs.
The property formula can be used to set the glyph orientation dynamically or depending on database field or parameter field value. In the property formula you can use glyph orientation constants.

Allows to rotate text.
The property formula can be used to set the text rotation dynamically or depending on database field or parameter field value. In the property formula you can use text rotation constants.
