HTML Tags in PDF

hi everyone, 
 
i got a dataset that contains column values like 
 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'><ul>
<li>item 1</li>
<li>item 2</li>
<li>item 3</li>
</ul></pre>
 
i am outputting this column value to a DATA-element. 
 
unfortunatelly birt outputs the plain column value instead of formatting this as a html list. 
 
does birt support this feature? 
 
 
BTW: i am using birt 2.6.1 
 
 
thanks for your replies

the data item prints out text as it is.
If you want the HTML interpreted use a dynamic text or a Text item.

I your case it might be easier to use the dynamic text. Just output the column in dynamic text and it will return the HTML formatted string. The difference is that the BIRT framework is assuming that you want the text to be formatted using the tags instead of printing it as it is.

i have tried the text element before but it didnt work.
