Using HTML in TAnnotation

Post by bertrod » Mon Feb 19, 2007 3:08 pm

Hello,

I noticed that it could be possible to use HTML in annotations by simply changing the TextOut() in the TAnnotationTool.DrawText function. It uses the TeeHTML parser and it can be quite useful sometimes.

So I was just wondering why you did not allow this possibility by default. Can it run to some troubles if I change the TextOut() to allow HTML in annotations ?

Hi bertrod,

yes, this feature still not been added. I've tested and just modifying the TextOut method would not be sufficient as then it does not calculate a correct annotation width.
I've added this feature on our wish list to be reviewed and included for the next releases.
