ActiveReports <LI> tag spacing - activereports

I've a rich textbox in activereports detail section. Its assigned with html dyanmicaly. That HTML includes LIST tags too(UL and LI). But the problem I cant change the spacing between each LI tags. I tried all CSS methods on the LI's style property. Like Margin, Padding , Line height. But nothing helped me to solve that issue. But I need some noticeable spacing between each LI tags on the Richtextbox..
This is an emergency requirement from my boss.
Requesting your valuable support..
Thanks in Advance..

There are list of supported HTML elements and CSS style attributes in the ActiveReports documentation. You could look through that reference and try the mentioned style attributes. I'd try the line-height, margin, and padding properties of the LI elements. Or maybe try putting a P element on one of the LI elements? If that doesn't work you should probably contact ActiveReports Support at ComponentOne.
If nothing else, you could try to get some RTF document to look the way you want (i.e. increased spacing between list items) and try importing that RTF document into ActiveReports instead.

Here's what works for me:
The paragraph tag supports the inline style attribute in an ActiveReports RichTextBox. So you can enclose each list item within open/close paragraph tags, and then use margin-top, margin-bottom in the inline paragraph style to get the line spacing how you want it.
I used style='margin-top:0;margin-bottom:5'

Get Font Properties From Word Document With OpenXML (.NET)

How can I get font properties from word document with OpenXML?
var para = wordDocument.MainDocumentPart.RootElement.Descendants<Paragraph>().ToList();
With the code above, I can only get the paragraphs themselves.
Only font insertion shown in forum.
Please help me..
Although i don't really know, what 'font-properties' means in this context, my answer is: it depends.
styles (templates defining paragraph or run format, etc) are set in MainDocumentPart.StyleDefinitionsPart
formatting properties are defined in RunProperties or ParagraphProperties (applied styles can also be found here)
So if you like to retrieve certain formatting properties, you will have to look inside the openxml-package.

How to change global style of document in LibreOffice?

I am a web developer and I want to style my libreoffice document like CSS.
I want to have a 1.5 line height everywhere except for list.
All the ul with 1.5 line (default) but the li in single line.
Is there a way to customize styling like that for all my future documents ?
I am not sure if you can create a separate style for libreoffice documents... But you can create a Template document for your future needs. Check out this link:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/94734/what-is-the-templates-folder-in-the-home-directory-for
This is good for creating documents for example inventory list, performance tracker etc .. but can be tuned to have some basic styling changes like change of margin size, general line hight etc.

tinyMCE delete text without IMG in paragraph?

Here is what I need to do: For example we have paragraph with some text and also img inserted I need to delete only the text without the IMG, but I dont know how to set that kind of condition.
Here's how you could do that in jQuery if you got some kind of identifier:
$('.container p').html($('.container p img'));
http://jsfiddle.net/8xbEp/ - a fiddle example
But maybe it would be better if you just set the image to be non-editable within tinyMCE, depending on your goals.
EDIT
This is an fiddle showing how to use non-editable content inside a contenteditable field (such as tinyMCE)
http://jsfiddle.net/uUKPA/35/
You need to wrap the contenteditable="false" inside another element with contenteditable="false" to be sure it's not removable in all browsers, such as IE.
<div contenteditable="false"><img src="img.gif" contentedtitable="false"/></div>

Prevent EPiServer from wrapping content in <p> tags

I'm working on a site in EPiServer, and whenever I create a page property with the type set to "XHTML string" (which uses the WYSIWYG content editor in Edit mode), it wraps all content in <p> tags.
Is there any way to prevent this from happening? I can't remove the paragraph margins universally through my CSS (e.g. p {margin: 0 !important;}) since I do need the margins for actual paragraphs of text. I've even tried going to the HTML source view in the editor and manually deleting the <p> tags that it generates, but it immediately adds them back in when I save!
It doesn't happen when the property type is either a long or short string, but that's not always an option since the content might contain images, dynamic controls, etc.
This is becoming a real nuisance since it's very hard to achieve the layout I need when basically every element on the page has extra margins applied to it.
As Johan is saying, they are there for a reason - see more info here. That being said, it's not impossible to remove them. It can be done in one of two ways (taken from world.episerver.com:
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnLoad(e);
myEditor.InitOptions["force_p_newlines"] = "false";
}
or
<script type="text/javascript">
tinyMCE.init({
force_p_newlines: false
});
</script>
You can add your own custom TinyMCE-config that removes P-elements or strip them out using regular expressions either when saving the page or when rendering the property/page.
I think it's a bad idea though. P-elements are what the editors generate the most and in most cases their content is also semantically correct. Better to wrap your property in a div with a class and adjust margins using CSS like you mention.
If you're using a version of EPiServer with TinyMCE editors, you can insert <br /> elements instead of <p> elements if you type shift-enter instead of enter. This should eliminate your margin problems.
More info at the link below:
http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/TinyMCE_FAQ#TinyMCE_produce_P_elements_on_enter.2Freturn_instead_of_BR_elements.3F
EDIT: My comment below answers his question better.
I discovered that while I can't remove the <p> tags from the source view (because it adds them back in automatically), if I replace them with <div> tags, it'll leave things alone. It does mean that I've got an extra <div> wrapping some elements that I don't really need, but at least a <div> doesn't add margins like a <p> does, so...good enough!

GWT label with line breaks

GWT Label widgets iterprets everything as text, not as html tags - that's good, but I would like it to interpret \n as a <br /> how do i do that.
I would make subclass, but I cant find what to override to achieve this behaviour
(I could use HTML widget, but it would interpret all tags - and all I need is an line brak)
Use an HTML widget and set its value using a SafeHtml constructed with SafeHtmlBuilder.appendEscapedLines:
HTML label = new HTML(new SafeHtmlBuilder().appendEscapedLines("foo<bar\nbaz>quux").toSafeHtml());
(alternatively, you can split("\n", -1) your text, call SafeHtml.htmlEscape on each part and join them back with a <br>, that's what appendEscapedLines does)
Another option is to use CSS, which may be sufficient in some cases where this problem emerges.
Add the CSS attribute white-space: pre or pre-wrap in the area where you display the text. It will ensure that line breaks are respected when rendering the document.
This approach has the potential to reduce some complexity, e.g. the processing of input where \n is replaced with <br/>.
You can use com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.HTML class to achieve this or simply write,
Label label = new HTML("// html code you wnat to write");
The problem to display multi-line text with HTML in XML files is that we are not allowed to use character < in the content. For example the below code cannot be compiled:
<g:HTML HTML="Line 1<br />Line2<br />Line 3" />
In my case, I declare that text as a i18n string then use in html
<ui:with field='ln' type='com.mycompany.i18n.LocalizableStrings'/>
<g:HTML HTML="{ln.EXPLAINATION}" />
