HTML Text Interpretation 2

[mtownbound]

I'm trying to add bold and a carriage return to a field. The bold works, but the chr(13) isn't.

If I disable the HTML Interpretation then the chr(13) works. What am I missing here?

"Of the " & "<b>"&totext({#RTotal1},0) &"</b>" & {@Was/Were}&
"<b>"&totext({#RTotal1},0)&"</b>" & Chr(13)&"Test"


Thanks!!

HTML cannot interpet CHR codes. Try "<br>" as a carriage return, and be sure to format the field to allow it to grow.

"Line <b> one </b> and <br> line 2

Thanks for the reply, but that didn't work.

It always pays to mention what version of Crystal Reports you are using.

The <br> notation works for version 2008 - I've used it several times without any problems. I'm not sure what works in other versions.

mtownbound,

Please show the formula where you plugged in the "<br>" as it should work.

mtownbound,

Original Post:

"Of the " & "<b>"&totext({#RTotal1},0) &"</b>" & {@Was/Were}&
"<b>"&totext({#RTotal1},0)&"</b>[red]" & Chr(13)&"[/red]Test"

Just an idea, but if you substituded the <br> directly into the above, you would receive an error (as the <br> would be outside the string definition).

The following *should* work, if not, please post your formula as per LBass's request, as it should be working.

"Of the " & "<b>"&totext({#RTotal1},0) &"</b>" & {@Was/Were}&
"<b>"&totext({#RTotal1},0)&"</b>[red]<br>[/red]Test"

Hope this helps!

Mike, that did it!! I think it was the quotes that were off. Thanks!!

"Of the " & "<b>"&totext({#RTotal1},0) &"</b>" & {@Was/Were}&
"<b>"&totext({#RTotal1},0)&"</b><br>Test
