equick,

I don't think there would be any other way to achieve this.  The code is as simple as it gets and the QPL HTML parser is pretty basic so it is unlikely there would be any type of workaround.  QPL 5.11 was back in the early days of Quick PDF library development.

Andrew.

OK, but you don't see anything majorly wrong with how I'm doing this right? Is there an alternate way of rendering the HTML that I might be overlooking, which may render the <ol> and <ul> properly? If I'm not using it wrong, then I'll agree with you and assume it is because we are running a very old version of the QPL.]]> Mon, 19 Aug 2013 05:24:19 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/drawhtmltextbox-not-rendering-ol-ul-li_topic2709_post11116.html#11116 <![CDATA[DrawHTMLTextBox not rendering ol/ul/li : equick,QPL 5.11 is very, very...]]> http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/drawhtmltextbox-not-rendering-ol-ul-li_topic2709_post11115.html#11115 Author: AndrewC

equick,

QPL 5.11 is very, very old and way before my time.  I suspect there could have been bugs in that part of the library as there have been a few changes in QPL 7 and 8 in the HTML functions.

The library has evolved a lot over the last few years and it would be too difficult to track down a bug that is this old.

Andrew.

Thank you for the response Andrew. Is there a known old bug for the <ol> or the <ul> tags? Could the bug be specific to VBScript ASP? I tried using your code but the <ol> and <ul> tags still do not render properly. It looks like the <li> tags are rendering but I don't get the numbers or bullet points for <ol> and <ul>, respectively. I'm using QPL 5.11. I currently can't upgrade as I'm managing an existing system.

Sample output (notice the lack of numbers for <ol> or bullet points for <ul>):
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3

equick,

The following code is working correctly for me in QPL 8.16, 9.12 and 9.15.

        QP.SetOrigin(1);   // Added

        string strHTML = "<ul><li>item 1</li><li>item 2</li><li>item 3</li></ul>";
        QP.SetTextAlign(0);
QP.SetHTMLNormalFont("Default", 4);
        QP.SetHTMLBoldFont("Default", 5);
QP.SetHTMLItalicFont("Default", 6);
QP.SetHTMLBoldItalicFont("Default", 7);
        QP.DrawHTMLTextBox(20, 20, 200, 200, strHTML);

        QP.SaveToFile("out.pdf");

Andrew.

ol/ul/li code are not rendering with DrawHTMLTextBox. The other supported HTML tags (e.g., b, i, em, sup, sub, etc) in Appendix A are working. Here's the snippet of code that I'm trying to work with:
With objPDF
	strHTML = "<ul><li>item 1</li><li>item 2</li><li>item 3</li></ul>"
	Call .SetTextAlign(intAlignment)
	Call .SetHTMLNormalFont("Default", intFont)
	Call .SetHTMLBoldFont("Default", intFontBold)
	Call .SetHTMLItalicFont("Default", intFontItalic)
	Call .DrawHTMLTextBox(intX, intY, intWidth, intHeight, strHTML)
End With
Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!
