Re: [iText-questions] Problem in nesting of lists in RTF?
I believe a related bug has been filed:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailaid=2802486group_id=15255atid=115255
They're using the HtmlWorker, but I'm guessing the root cause is just
in the RTF generation. I see the same behavior that you are in one of
our test cases. However, we're not currently using sub lists in our
product (so I haven't looked at fixing it myself, yet). If you're
able to fix the source code, and submit a patch - well, that would be
awesome. :)
I have a couple of similar outstanding patches - maybe when the
project goes into incubator mode, they'll get merged in.
btw - thanks to Bruno, Howard, et al, the RTF support does go a pretty
long way. And if you're willing to fix a couple things here and there
for your specific uses - you can do a lot with it.
Cheers,
Scott
