Valid HTML Tags in Report Titles

Your administrator can restrict embedded HTML content in the titles of reports that may be published to the Web. This ensures, for example, that unwanted scripts are not run when a consumer views a published report on the Web in interactive HTML exploration. If your administrator does not restrict the HTML content, you can use any valid HTML tag in your report title.

For more information, see the Enterprise Server Guide.

By restricting embedded HTML tags in titles, the administrator ensures that only the following HTML tags are valid:

• <I>, <B>, <U>, <BR> (with no attributes)
• <P> (with align, dir, style, class and title attributes permitted)
• <SPAN>, <DIV> (with dir, style and class attributes permitted)

To ensure XML compatibility, use closing brackets with all tags.

The following items are then exported as text only:

• any unrecognized tags (or tags with invalid attributes)
• any tag containing a style attribute with unexpected values
• all text (both inside and outside tags)
• all attribute values
• all results from VAR tags

Style Attribute Values

The style attribute, which is permitted on the <P>, <SPAN> and <DIV> tags, can have only the following values:

• font
• font-size
• font-weight
• font-style
• color
• background-color
• text-decoration

Some style elements are not permitted. For example, the font-family element is not recognized. The font-size element can have only numbers after it, and the color element should only be used with the rgb (#,#,#) format.

For example, to create a title in 24 point bold, red text, type the following in the Title Text box:

<p STYLE="font-size:24;color:rgb(255,0,0);font-weight:bold">My Customized Report</p>
