print datas
Hello LiveCode Users, I need to print some datas organized in a complex table (cells union, different styles,...) which will occupy more than a page. What is the best way to do this? I thought about something like output datas and table format as html. Maybe someone can give me another idea?

Re: print datas
Crystal Reports should do it. If the data is stored in a database (and even methinks in a spreadsheet or text file) Crystal Reports should be able to access it so that you can design your report and output it. Doing this in LC is simply a matter of writing code to populate a card with the data in the right places, then print the card. You *could* I suppose, have one great big field on a card the size of the page you want, then build your HTML programmatically, and then set the htmlText of the field to the result. I don’t see why that would not work as well.

Re: print datas
I really like outputting HTML files that are styled specifically for printing. I was using a modified version of twitter bootstrap that I tweaked for printing and using things like js charting tools to compliment this. This made for some pretty reports that could also be rendered nicely on mobile and desktop devices. The new browser object that is coming up might take that approach to the next level depending on how it renders printing.
