HTML Tags in PDF Output

A variety of html tags are now available for use in APPX PDF output processes.

HTML tags may be embedded within an ALPHA field or a TEXT field to specify how the field value is to be formated when printed.

The field must be added to the image with a widget type of LABEL or TEXT AREA.

The field must begin with "<html>".  The entire contents of the field will then be considered to be HTML text.

If no widget is specified or if a RAW TEXT widget type is specified, the contents of the field will be printed without formating.

The label value of a LABEL widget may contain HTML tags as a way of formating the label value when printed.
