Hello, can a Formula HTML field on a saved search be rendered as HTML in an Advanced PDF? It looks like it is just display the HTML text?

I'm not sure on this one.

The HTML/XML of the template determines the PDF's layout, and the freemarker data objects determine the PDF's content (along with any static text you put in the BFO tags for your XML).

Because of that, I don't know if you can use the freemarker data to inject BFO tags - I think they get parsed as content, not layout.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I do remember seeing something about being able to include blocks of HTML/XML/BFO though, but I think it's designed to get those from files, rather than from fields.

I don't want to tell you that you can't do this, I have never tried. Has anyone else gotten this to work?

Hi Nina, you should be able to but may need to apply a built-in in the template like `?html`

I've done something similar concatenating a string with JSON and then parsed the JSON to render it as a table in my template.  Just needed to use `?eval_json`

Thanks I had tried ?html but was not successful. Will see if there are any other built-in options to try. Thanks.
