Re: [sqr-users] Interpreting HTML code in SQR report output
Jon, (Steve,)
If you're only creating HTML output, then Steve's suggestion should work
for you. You might need to trim out the <html> and <body> tags.
But, I'm guessing that your question has to do with rendering HTML
in the context of -printer:pd, -printer:ht, or -printer:ps. If that's
the case, then you'll want to _interpret_ the HTML and invoke the
appropriate PRINT commands depending on the HTML content.
We've developed such an HTML interpreter (that reads a string containing
HTML and then executes the equivalent print commands) that also uses our
proportional font library. We get pretty good results for a useful subset
of HTML.
We have a substantial investment in our proportional font and HTML
rendering libary. We haven't quite decided on an approach for
allowing others to use the library. Contact me at rayo@ontko.com
if you'd like to persue this further.
