Manage Styled text from Java context with HTML, Wikipedia, Wiki Google syntax

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Today XDocReport manages simple text from the Java context. (ex: $name is 
replaced with a simple text value).

Imagine you have a report with comments section : 

--------------------------------------------------------
$comments 
--------------------------------------------------------

Today you can just replace $comments with simple text (some text).

--------------------------------------------------------
some text
--------------------------------------------------------

It should be cool, to gives the capaibility to style the text (set bold 
charachter with bold style in the report) by using some syntax like HTML, 
Google Wiki, WikiPedia, etc

For instance, set the value some _text_ which uses Google Wiki syntax :

--------------------------------------------------------
some text
--------------------------------------------------------

and text will be bolded.

HTML syntax could be interesting when WEB Application use rich textarea like 
TyniMCE or FCKEditor.

Hi, 

Text styling is planned for XDocReport 0.9.3. Today bold and italic works with 
docx with HTML and Wiki syntax. ODT should be implement and we have the 
intention to manage text styling for Hyperlink and bulleted list.

Here teh servlet used in the demo 
http://code.google.com/p/xdocreport/source/browse/demo-webapp/src/main/java/fr/o
pensagres/xdocreport/webapp/TextStylingReportServlet.java?repo=samples

The basic idea is to set a mergefield (see TextSyling.docx from the demo 
http://code.google.com/p/xdocreport/source/browse/?repo=samples#git%2Fdemo-webap
p%2Fsrc%2Fmain%2Fresources%2Ffr%2Fopensagres%2Fxdocreport%2Fwebapp)

-----------------------------------------------------
$comments_html
-----------------------------------------------------

And you must indicate to XDocReport that this field manage HTML text styling 
like this: 

-----------------------------------------------------
FieldsMetadata metadata = new FieldsMetadata();
metadata.addFieldAsTextStyling("comments_html", SyntaxKind.Html);
-----------------------------------------------------

And after you can set HTML text in the context : 

-----------------------------------------------------
context.put("comments_html", "Bold text");
-----------------------------------------------------
