I have a column value in a table that I'd like to dynamically change to
"italics" based on the value. In the following example, I'd like the
"null" value to be italics. Is this possible with BIRT?

if ( row["value"] == null ) {
"null"
} else {
row["value"]
}

Absolutely. With BIRT, you can format values based on conditions. Use the
Highlights page on the Property Editor. The UI walks you through specifying
formatting rules, so you don't need to write any code. For more information,
see the online documentation: Help-->Help Contents-->BIRT Developer
Guide-->Field Guide to BIRT-->Formatting report content-->Formatting data
based on conditions.
