François,
I believe this is a known issue with Text elements. Can you not use a
grid and the style mechanisms built into BIRT to do the same thing?

BTW some html will be passed through. As an example look at the sample
db. If you enter a select statement like:
select CLASSICMODELS.PRODUCTLINES.HTMLDESCRIPTION
from CLASSICMODELS.PRODUCTLINES
Add a table and bind it to that dataset and then put a dynamic text
element in that binds to HTMLDESCRIPTION you will see that html works in
html and pdf.
Or open a blank report and drop a dynamic text element in it with the
following expression:
var htmlvar = "";
htmlvar = htmlvar + "<ul>";
htmlvar = htmlvar + "<li><font face='Times New Roman'>No Toxic
Materials</font></li>"
htmlvar = htmlvar + "<li><font face='Times New Roman'>Monogram Service
Available</font></li>"
htmlvar = htmlvar + "<li><font face='Times New Roman'>Batteries Not
Required</font></li>"
htmlvar = htmlvar + "<li><font color='#FF0000' face='Times New
Roman'><i><b>90 Day Money Back Guarantee</b></i></font></li>"
htmlvar = htmlvar + "</ul>";
I believe the issue is with tables.
