You cannot use HTML either. When you are using Excel itself, you can copy and paste HTML into a cell and Excel will interpret the mark-up; but this is Excel the application doing the work for you. With POI, you are working directly with the raw file and do not have the 'Excel layer' so to speak to help.
Have you thought about using a pre-existing parser to interpret the RTF/HTML markup and use it to tell you what you should do with POI? IText is the obvious candidate where RTF is concerned. I know it will work with RTF documents, fragments I am not so sure about but it would be worthwhile trying. Whether there is something similar for HTML, I cannot say. My only experiences with parsing HTML using Java have made use of the languages in-built parsing capabilities. -- View this message in context: http://apache-poi.1045710.n5.nabble.com/How-to-insert-existing-RTF-string-into-Excel-cell-tp5581680p5583202.html Sent from the POI - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
