Hi David, there is no easy/reliable way of converting HTML and CSS to Excel (except of course going into the HTML rendering engine business). So in a less ambitious approach, for custom HTML forms, the system look for a well-formed HTML table and parses that into a grid which is subsequently rendered as Excel / PDF.
So the current approach is to use a valid, well-formed HTML table as the basis of your custom forms. You can validate your HTML here: https://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input regards, Lars On Tue, Apr 12, 2016 at 10:26 AM, <janhenrik.overl...@gmail.com> wrote: > ----Forwarded using *Multi-Forward Chrome Extension* > <https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/multi-forward-for-gmail/jjmdplljmniahpamcmabdnahmjdlikpm> > --- > From: Knut Staring > Date: Mon Apr 11 2016 16:00:35 GMT+0530 (IST) > Subject: Re: [Dhis2-devs] Possible bug?
