Set DynamicText to Plain Text

Atthem

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have read the forum and other answers regarding formatting the text to <strong class='bbc'>plain text</strong> and what I can find is that every forum says:<br />
<br />
1. Change data to text-data <br />
2. add the property contentType html<br />
<br />
I am a beginner at BIRT and uses version 2.2.2.rx222_v20071130 bundle with the eclipse application. <br />
<br />
So my question really brings me down to how I do a plain text output using the report design GUI?<br />
<br />
I have tried using the XML file - ended up with no data as output.<br />
<br />
This is my output today:<br />
<em class='bbc'><p><br />
description order to transfrom inputs into outputs through a series of<br />
steps performed by one or more roles independent of a <br />
</p> <br />
</em><br />
...as you can see it has <p> and & tags in it.<br />
for this output I have used the DynamicText element.<br />
<br />
Please help me out.<br />
Thanks Peter

Hi,

I found out that it was me doing the things wrong

I just dragged and dropped a dataset onto the report designer and thought that it automatically should be DynamicText. However when first put out a DynamicText and then dragged and dropped the items one at the time it worked!

So for those thinking that BIRT uses the DynamicText by default - STOPP, that is not the case.

Thanks Peter
