Hello,

I am an enthousiastic user of iText for generating PDFs from dynamic data,
e.g. for websites.
I am currently working at Cetim (France), and I have used iText with
success for small Intranet applications. Now, I am planning to use it for
our Internet site, and I am faced with a little technical problem :

- the content of the site is using dynamic data (MySql DB) , that I can
easily convert to XML streams (or files)
- some of the fields of the corresponding tables have values of type
"text" where HTML code is stored. It contains basix tags, such as ,
<a>, , , <ul>, <li>... (but no font or style specs)
- I want to produce PDFs presenting approximatively the same "formatting"
as given by the HTML code of these fields

Globally, I could successfully implement this process using function
HtmlParser.parse() of your library (v. 2.04) : for setting font sizes or
text colors, I transformed via XSLT my incoming raw XML data to a full
(dynamic) XHTML file, adding code like or <div style=...> before the HTML code of a certain field,
ending that tag after the "inner" HTML code of the field ( thus englobing
it with a specific style) . But, in the case where the inner code contains
other tags such as <a> or <li>, the resulting PDF file does not "span" the
style all over the HTML inner code but only up to the first "inner" HTML
tag

Here is an example of a portion of code for the XHML file that I send as
an input to HtmlParser.parse() :
<html>
<body>
<div style="font-size:10px; color:green;">At the end of the session,
participants may :
<ul>
<li>option1</li>
<li>option2</li>
<li>option3</li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
</html>

>From this, I obtain the resulting PDF file which is attached to this mail,
where the list options do not appear in green as I think they should...

Can you give me advice or other ideas or solutions for this problem ?

Thanking you in advance,
Yours sincerily
