HTML table snot showing dynamic content from SP list due to symbols

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

I built a Flow that takes a HTML text within Power Apps and turns it to PDF. The flow is working as it should but....I have noticed that some of my dynamic content has the "<" (less than) symbol . And it is not showing in the HTML text, hence is not showing in the final PDF. All the other part of the dynamic content is just fine.

I know about the "<" in HTML code to show the symbol as it is. But I don't know how to show the symbol as part of a dynamic content. My data is an Sharepoint List. The colum is a text column and sometimes it's needed to put < or > as part as the data.

This seems like a HTML code problem, but since is part of a flow and PowerApps. Can you please help me? Is there a way around to show the dynamic content with a "less than" symbol so that the flow works as it should?

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous ,

Could you please show me screenshots of your Flow and App?
Sometimes special characters are presented in another way in power automate, we just need to replace them.
For example, when the <a> tag I store in my Sharepoint table is used in the Create HTML table action, "<" and ">" will be rendered in the form of "&lt" and "&gt".
We can replace it with replace().
(Note: You do not need to use the following formula, you just need to replace the special characters you need to replace according to your own scene)
replace(replace(replace(replace(body('Create_HTML_table'),'&lt','<'),'&gt','>'),'&quot','"'),';','')

Best Regards,
Dezhi
