Created attachment 105179 [details] Example Build ID: 2.2.2 Steps To Reproduce: Steps To Reproduce: 1. Open a new report 2. Insert a text box 3. Add the text: Here is <b>a test</b> that is not working <font color="red"> at </font> all 4. Select HTML 5. View report as XLS -> the one line text is splitted to several rows: Here is a test that is not working at all More information: Same behavior for 2.2.2 and 2.3
We should put the inline elements into the same row. Need investigate the solution
I propose to add a composite text content to represent the content generated from a complex text item, in which the text may be divided into several text content according to fonts or styles. A composite text content consists of several real(simple and same as original text content) text contents. Most emitters and other modules can regard a composite text content as several simple text contents and just ignore the composite text content itself. While excel emitter can merge the text contents in a composite text content to a single text content and output it in one cell.

How does a user select text vs. composite text when he/she design a reports? IN what situation select which text?
(In reply to comment #1) > We should put the inline elements into the same row. > Need investigate the solution Do we parse the HTML and format the text using Excel's formatting properties? Or can we output the HTML as it is to a Excel cell? Suggest we work on this as part of the Excel emitter enhancement to support charts and formula.

My proposal is for implementation of engine layout. What I mean is, when engine executes the text item, it creates a composite text content for the html text with serveral styles. So that emitters can distinct if the text contents are from a single or multiple html text entries. I didn't mean to add a composite text item.
