Evaluating HTML text

tkopets

Hi,<br />
<br />
How to write a script to evaluate HTML text expression using birt engine to get the same output as this does Text element with HTML formating.<br />
<br />
I tried like this:<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>this.text = reportContext.evaluate("Date is: <VALUE-OF>new Date();</VALUE-OF>");</pre>
Which does not work.<br />
<br />
Alternatively, is there any way to get evaluated text (actual text that appears on report) of Text element in script?

Where are you writing this script? If you're writing it in a script method or an expression builder and not in a text box, you wouldn't need the <value-of> tag. You'd just need to use the script new Date().

Like:

temp = new Date();
this.text = "Date is: " + temp.toString();

Or something similar.
