Hi Paulo,
Thanks for taking the time to answer me.
OK. I searched the mailing list archives on "HTMLWorker".
But as far as I can see, you have to define/know your style beforehand:
StyleSheet style = new StyleSheet();
style.loadTagStyle("div", "color", "red");
java.io.StringReader sr = new java.io.StringReader(
"<div style=\"color=\"red\" \">This is the TITLE in red.</div>");
java.util.ArrayList list = HTMLWorker.parseToList(sr, style);
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1);
table.addCell( new PdfPCell( (Paragraph)list.get(0) ) );
document.add(table);
If I leave out the line
style.loadTagStyle("div", "color", "red");
I don't get the resulting line in the PDF file in red.
So, I have to "parse" myself what's inside the HTML string,
to be able to apply the needed tagstyles to become the correct result?
That's not what I had expected.
I expected to simply feed HTMLWorker some HTML string
and to have HTMLWorker interpret it according to its content
with as a result a Paragraph containing text formatted
according to what's in the HTML string.
In fact, if you have to specify the styles to use yourself
'beforehand',
what's the use of HTMLWorker in my case where the user can enter
whatever HTML code he wants in the HTML string?
E.g.
<div style=\"color=\"red\" \">This is the TITLE in red with the last
word in </div>
<div style=\"color=\"red\" \">green</div>
Can I conclude that HTMLWorker is not usable in this case?
Thanks for your time.
Geert

Subject: HTML-formatted text
Hi,
In my app I have to create PDF hard copies of the reports created on
the
screen (Save as PDF)
The header of a report is defined by the user himself.
He's allowed to use HTML formatting to format the header according to
his whishes.
A possible (simple) header string could be:
<div style=\"color:red; font-size:16px\">This is the header in
red.</div>
Now the only possible way to add HTML formatted text to a PDF document
I
found
is using HtmlParser.parse():
String content = "<div style=\"color:red; font-size:16px\">This
is text in red.</div>";
java.io.StringReader reader = new
java.io.StringReader("<p>"+content+"</p>");
com.lowagie.text.html.HtmlParser.parse(document, reader);
This works OK.
Now my question is this:
how can I get (a reference to) the Chunk, Paragraph, Section or
wathever
element iText creates
when it writes that HTML formatted text in the PDF file?
In fact I want to create a table with that HTML formatted text in one
of
the cells.
Is that possible?
In that case the method HtmlParser.parse(document,...) doesn't help me
much.
How do I do it?
Second question: (How) can I position that HTML-formatted text
absolutely?
Kind Regards,
Geert Delmeiren
PS. Bruno, I recently discovered you're a compatriot of me ;?)
Nice work iText is!
