HTML in PDF Documents
I thought we could use HTML in PDF outputs? I have a TEXT type field that I have filled with some simple HTML:
<html>
Address 1<br>
Address 2<br>
Phone<br>
</hmtl>

The <br> is ignored, and the text prints w/o a break.

I used a LABEL control type. This works fine in an input process.

What I am doing wrong?


 <br> is ignored...  
You can change fonts and colors inside of a PDF field (using HTML tags), but not layout (at least not yet). You should be able to use:
<font size=10 color=#00FF00> set size and color at once, you can also do stuff like:
size=+2 or size=-3 </font> <big> next larger font </big> <strong> bold </strong>
 <i> italics </i> <em> italics </em> <tt> tele-type font (courier) </tt> <small>
 next smaller font </small>
<u> underline </u>
More tags likely in future releases
