XRRichText and character spacing

created 9 years ago

Hi,

we have an application that includes several XtraReports.

Inside those reports there is a XRRichtText control bound to a property that contains html.
The html uses letter-spacing and line-height but it seems that those values are ignored by the XRRichText control.

We also tried to use text formatted in rtf to meet the requirements, but this also did not work. The text was shown as if we did not change the character spacing.

How can we make the XRRichtText control take the different character spacing into account?

      Hi Vasily,

      I created a simplified version of the the HTML code we are trying to render.
      The different letter-spacing and line-height are applied to the second parapragh.

      While testing this code i noticed that the XRRichText control does indeed render the line-height correctly. It seems that our "big" HTML code has some other problems i need to fix.

      However, the letter-spacing is not taken into account.

      HTML
      <p style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; text-align: center;">  
    <b><span style="color: #C1334B">colored and bold</span></b> &middot; some text &middot; more text here &middot; <span style="color: #C1334B">more colored text</span> text text <br />  
    <b><span style="color: #C1334B">colored and bold</span></b> &middot; some text &middot; more text here &middot; <span style="color: #C1334B">more colored text</span> text text  
</p>  
<p style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; text-align: center; letter-spacing: 6px; line-height: 1.8; ">  
    <b><span style="color: #C1334B">colored and bold</span></b> &middot; some text &middot; more text here &middot; <span style="color: #C1334B">more colored text</span> text text <br />  
    <b><span style="color: #C1334B">colored and bold</span></b> &middot; some text &middot; more text here &middot; <span style="color: #C1334B">more colored text</span> text text  
</p>

      Hi Oliver,

      Thank you for sending us your code. This issue is caused by the fact that currently, XRRichText control does not support character spacing. So, the letter-spacing attribute is being ignored when you are loading this HTML content to the  XRRichText control.
      In any case, the line-height attribute is working without any issue on my side. I have created a sample project and recorded a video to illustrate this. You can find this sample project and video in the attachment.
