Extend sap.m.FormattedText with additional HTML tags

[thuethe]

Is there a reason why sap.m.FormattedText is limited to just this set of HTML tags? Would there be anything against extending it with the following tags, especially mark?

• ins
• small
• q
• dfn
• time
• var
• samp
• kbd
• sub
• sup
• mark
• wbr

Hello @thuethe,

Could you describe your use case in more detail and give us an example of how this should look in the application(screenshot). While reading the UX guidelines I've stumbled upon the following recommendations:

"Use the formatted text control to:

• Embed formatted HTML text.
• Display longer texts, such as descriptions, legal texts, or manuals.
• Display simple lists with bullet points or numbers.
• Display code.

Do not use the formatted text control to:

• Display a semantically-colored text or a status. Use the sap.m.ObjectStatus control instead"

According to your description you could potentially use the sap.m.ObjectStatus control, in order to highlight (give a semantic meaning) to a part of a given text.

Please have a look at the following sample: https://ui5.sap.com/#/entity/sap.m.ObjectStatus/sample/sap.m.sample.ObjectStatus There is a section for indication colors.

Best regards, Boyan

Hello @unazko ,

I can imagine many use cases. My concrete example would be a text in which I want to highlight a search result in color. See screenshot:

But useful use cases can also be found for the other tags I listed.

Best regards
