I would like to add an editor to my project to allow admins to edit the text of the various reports in our system. This would require some sort of WYSIWYG editor for the text blocks. I was thinking I could store the text in the database and put it in the report using a Class.
What I was wondering about was handing text styling. The editor would have to allow the user to center text and apply bold and italicized styles to certain text.
Are there any formatting tags that work with Infragistics report text? I tried using the markup tags from your TextEditor control here http://help.infragistics.com/Help/Doc/WinForms/2012.1/CLR2.0/html/WinFormattedLinkLabel_Formatting_Text_and_Hyperlinks.html but they don't work. How about a way to place Rich Text objects into the report?

Basically want we were wanting to do is store report text in a database, but we would need to preserve formatting. I was wondering if Infragistics NetAdvantage reporting supported any type of style tags or rich text.
Our project is going in a different direction now so it may no longer be necessary.
Thank you for contacting Infragistics Developer Support.
Could you please let me know how you are generating your report? Are you using Infragistics Reporting http://help.infragistics.com/doc/reporting/2014.1/CLR4.0 or you are using Infragsitics.Documents.Report assemblies to generate your report? Also is it possible to provide me with a simple sample which I could use as starting point for my research?
I am looking forward to your reply.
