Formatted HTML Text inside a shape

Wed Mar 16, 2016 3:07 pm

Hi,
I'm evaluating the Spire Presentation and I'm looking for the possibility to insert an HTML formatted text inside a shape.

Is it possible?

Best regards,
Luca

Hi Amy,
thanks for the support, it works (with valid XHTML).

No way to mantain the formatted text? May be useful to mantain characters and paragraphs html tags.

Hi Amy,
the html is entered by the user with a html form and is not well formed. It contains a lot of "malformed" tags because the users made cut and paste from word...

This is an example that throw error when you try to append it to a shape:

Code: Select all: <html><body> Nel periodo considerato sono state effettuate: <ul><li style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 18pt;">n. 196 Verifiche</li></ul>così suddivise: <ul><li style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 18pt;">n. 43 verifiche Snam su attività documentali in conformità alle norme</li></ul><ul>UNI EN ISO   9001 – Qualità UNI EN ISO 14001 – Ambiente UNI EN ISO 18001 – Sicurezza <span style='font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language: IT; mso-fareast-language: IT; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;'>UNI EN ISO 50001 – Energia                    </ul></body></html>

So, I get the decision to save the HTML to an image and then include the image inside the presentation:

Code: Select all: Image image = TheArtOfDev.HtmlRenderer.WinForms.HtmlRender.RenderToImage(html, 650, 400); System.IO.Stream imageStream = image.toStream(ImageFormat.Png); RectangleF rect = new RectangleF(40, 80, image.Width, image.Height); IEmbedImage embImage = slide.Shapes.AppendEmbedImage(ShapeType.Rectangle, imageStream, rect); embImage.ShapeLocking.AspectRatioProtection = true;

You can close the issue.

Thanks for the support.
