Converting to HTML when using RichText input field

Posted on by S_Burden_79

Hello,

I have a PowerApp where I am converting the form/file information to HTML, then to PDF via a FLOW.

However when I manifest in HTML, the RichText is very large and not respecting the text size I want to use for the output.

Here is my HTML, and "BrowseGallery1.Selected.HL_Overview" is a RichText field.

<tr style='height:Auto'>
<td>Design Details and/or Changes Requested: </td>
<td>"&BrowseGallery1.Selected.HL_Overview&"</td>
</tr>

Thank you

This looks like the same line of code that I have, except the 'F' in font is lower case. However I did copy and paste this in, but still have the same result.

Hi,
I think "HL_Overview" in your sharepoint list has "Use enriched text" functionality enabled and the vale Text in that column is getting font-size from the column itself.

Please consider changing your Formula to the following:

<tr style='height:Auto'> <td>Design Details and/or Changes Requested: </td> <td>" & PlainText(BrowseGallery1.Selected.HL_Overview) & "</td> </tr>

I hope this is helpful for you.

This worked! Is there a way to maintain any of the line breaks? i.e. its entered into PowerApps with bullets, or line breaks. That all disappears when converted to PlainText. Any way around this?

You can substitute line breaks prior to converting.

i.e.

<tr style='height:Auto'> <td>Design Details and/or Changes Requested: </td> <td>" & Substitute( PlainText(Substitute(BrowseGallery1.Selected.HL_Overview, " ", "~")), "~", " " ) & "</td> </tr>

This will substitute the 's with a random character (not normally used) and then that character will be left over in the plain text. Then a Substitute is used to change that character back to a " ".

It gets a little icky if you have a lot of tags to preserve.
