How to decode html objects in JasperReports

Question

I have several reports written in JasperReports and they display html objects literally, for example, a point marker • is displayed using a textual representation of the html entity: # 8226 ;.

Do you know anything like that?

Answer 1

In textField set markup attribute as html .

Answer 2

If you use iReport to design reports, check the "markup" property in the properties window for this specific field.

Answer 3

Because reports are XML layouts, they can be easily converted to UTF-8, since 8226 is a Unicode number.
