How to report formated attributes like AT_DESC

In our Description-Fields of Objects, we have some formating like Bold-Text.

I use the OutputLnF-Function to report these attributes. The function requires a StyleSheetName, build like this:

p_Output.DefineF(getString("TEXT_STYLE_DEFAULT"), getString("TEXT_FONT_DEFAULT"), 10, CC_BLACK, CC_TRANSPAR,  Constants.FMT_LEFT| Constants.FMT_VCENTER, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1);

But then, the report will not show any bold text.

How can this be solved?

Dominik - you can use the code below to output the formatted text:

var objectDescription = oObjDef.Attribute(Constants.AT_DESC, g_nloc).getHTMLFormattedValue().getHTML();
outfile.OutputFormattedText(objectDescription);

Awesome, it worked on first try!

It remains a little inelegance. If I enter only text in the description-field, Aris shows "Arial" as Font. When I print, I think that there is no font in the html and the print-out shows a "times" Font.

What helps: mark all text and define Arial explicit. This ends up in some work. Do I have a chance to override (only) the font in the report - we do not want multiple fonts anyway.

Hi,

you could try the following alternation:

outfile.OutputFormattedText(objectDescription.replace("<body>", "<body><font face='Arial'>").replace("</body>", "</font></body>"));
