Using Inline HTML Formatting With Oracle Reports

Overview

Oracle Reports is a powerful high fidelity reporting tool that is used for dynamic, enterprise reporting. It has an impressive array of features that allow precise control of the formatting of the output. Among a host of other options, it allows a variety of fonts, styles, and colors. One can change the formatting of text objects both at design time using Reports Builder user interface, and at runtime using SRW built-in procedures. The inline HTML formatting feature introduced in Oracle Reports 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) takes the concept of runtime formatting a step further.
