Print VI To HTML Change in behaviour of format form LV 7.1.1 to >= 8.0.1

[waldemar.hersacher]

I detected a change in the behaviour ot the Print VI To HTML Invoke node when using the Custom format and going from LV 7.1.1 to LV8.x.

In LV 7.1.1 I get a horizontal line and a header before each section, e. g

Horizontal Line

Connector Pane

In LV 8.x this is missing. The format Complete will inlcude the horizontal line and the header but I don't need the Block diagram section of the VI. The Custom format allows me to do that.

I will treat this as a bug since I have to create a workaround VI to delete the Block diagram section from the HTML file and delete the graphics file from the disc.

Confirmed. It's also not limited to that method, since printing the VI using File->Print... will do the same. Kind of makes sense since it's probably calling the same code.

Hi Waldemar,

Thanks for the feedback.  I have filed this documentation error with R&D under CAR #135411.  This was changed between LabVIEW 7.1.1 and LabVIEW 8.0 but it does not appear that it was documented anywhere.
