Hard, as in difficult (maybe). Hard, as in inflexible (needn't be).

Sounds like the need to know how to use Sbasic to enhance a report.
There are, of course several dozen enhancements you can make to reports without any SBasic or HTML (just SDesigner) at all, including colors, font faces, sizes, styles, images, widths, etc... Using HTML, that range goes into the hundreds, and using CSS within HTML, that goes into the thousands.
Are you aware that you can use CSS within HTML outside of the <HEAD> tag? The only CSS that must be in the <HEAD> tag are CSS tags bound by class.
Quote:What is needed is an EASY ability of end user to create their own reports. It is tough enough that I need to have them learn HTML. OK, I accept that for the moment. Reports will be generated in HTML for rendering by other products.
What, specifically are you needing them to know in HTML?
Quote:If HTML is the output vehicle then the user needs to be able to create, modify, control that HTML code. Sesame is doing a fine job of entering most of the formatting, creating tables, etc.
By creating report unbound Value elements we can write HTML code inside the BODY of the reports, we can also modify tables, table cells, images, links, etc. We are almost there.
All I am asking for now is an EASY way for them to insert HTML into the HEAD section on the report. No need to learn Sbasic, no need to do post processing before rendering.
That initial SIGH is just exasperation..........
Thanks again for listening.
I agree that some means to add tags to the <HEAD> section would be desirable. I was simply trying to get you a solution that is tenable today.
Again, what are you putting in the <HEAD> section that is required to be in the <HEAD> section?
