multiline html reports

Hi,

Does anyone know how to get a carriage return into an HTML element in the report object.

I am trying to do a report that is a list of results, but even though I am using HTML1, HTML2, HTML3 etc... they all come out on the same line.

I dont think there is a CR expression function, so do you use a different element ???

Thanks,

John

You need a small amount of additional HTML code to indicate a new paragraph. Here is one way - you can begin the HTMLx datamember connection expression with and end it with . This will give you a new paragraph for each entry.

That works great, thanks.

So I guess this means that you can embed any HTML command within the text.

Cheers,

John

Have you tried /R (backslash-R)?
It works for the ASCII object as a carriage return.

In html you can use the command or is also acceptable. This is simply a break to the next line, instead of the creation of a new paragraph with . There's not much difference, just another method.
