Report: Justified formatting for formatted text output

Hi Francois,

if you still didn't resolve this problem please paste your code here.

Hi,

My main goal is to output in a report the styled text value of an attribute (most importantly numbering/bulleting) in a different font, font size, and font color from what the attribute originally exists in the database, example:

Attribute as it exists in the database:

Attribute as it should be outputted in the report:

The only solution I could find was to:

1. Add a font format in the database with the desired settings
2. Retrieve the attribute using getHTMLFormattedValue()
3. Merge the retrieved attribute with the font format added to the database using getMergedFormatting
4. Outputing the result with getHTML using OutputFormattedText

The code is something like the below:

var nLocale = Context.getSelectedLanguage()
var p_aModel = ArisData.getSelectedModels()
var p_StyledValue = p_aModel[0].Attribute(Constants.AT_NAME, nLocale).getHTMLFormattedValue())
var FontList = ArisData.getActiveDatabase().FontStyleList()
p_StyledValue = p_StyledValue.getMergedFormatting(FontList[0].Font(nLocale) )
p_output.OutputFormattedText( p_StyledValue.getHTML() )

Everything worked perfectly except for one hiccup: the final result magically had an indentation before the output by 6mm, example:

Edit: After more research, the issue is with bulleting an attribute itself, where it inserts the indent by default, hence I don't think there is a way to manipulate this indentation

Is there a method to manipulate a text HTML retrieved in an attribute using getHTML() method? I wish output the result manipulated using OutputFormattedText
