Thanks, Jennie, but no, I have not tried that as I want to actually enter the data as code (html) into my webpage. But I think I found the solution: if I export to rtf as a descendant book, as opposed to descendant narrative book, I do get tabs and spaces, each with a unique format depending on the generation.  So I should be able to use either CSS or JS to manipulate the text into a particular format of my choosing.

Hi Lewis,

Have you tried opening the report in a word processor such as Word and saving it as a web page - not sure if this will work, but it may
