I'm having a problem with RTF in in my generated reports.
When I insert a "descriptionRTF" in my template and generate a report, I get the RTF tags inserted as text in the report! This applies to both Word and RTF reports. I expected to see the formated text!

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

This is not possible.
The only elements that could be exported (beyond plain text) are hyperlinks.
To achieve this use the "DescriptionHTML" attribute.

In fact the problem originated from Rhapsody since in previous versions it didn't allow RTF editing and so the option for this in ReporterPLUS (the attribute you observe) was never implemented. As a result, currently RTF formatting applied by the user is practically lost in the generated document. This is now a ReporterPLUS defect and will be corrected.

This is hopefully going to be implemented soon, so the new RTF features in Rhapsody can be fully utilized. Thank You for Your answers.

We do now have a workaround that involves inserting:
##BeginRTF##«$descriptionRTF»##EndRTF##[CR]
into the ReporterPLUS template (instead of just «$descriptionRTF»)

The above is a marker for a macro we can supply that will correct the formatted description in the generated report.

Contact support for further details.
