Convert Crystal Reports Text Object/Text box to HTML?

I want to convert the text from Crystal reports to HTML and so far I have noticed that if I simply add a text field, I am able to change it to HTML by formatting text option and then under Paragraph tab there is an option to change the text interpretation. The problem is that I have entered text box to enter some hard coded information along with the database driven field, so I would like to know if there is a way I can convert the text box data into HTML. I am currently using crystal reports XI and want going forward want to upload these reports in a website using visual studio 2010. Thank you for your help.

It appears that the 'Text Interpretation' is ONLY a property of these fields:

  • Database
  • Formula
  • Parameter
  • Group Name

I wasn't able to get the Text Object to act as HTML.

However, you could create a formula with static HTML text:

"<strong>this is bold text</strong>"

Or a formula that combines text w/ data:

"<pre>" + {table.html_field} + "</pre>"

You could also use a string parameter to display user-supplied, HTML text.
