Extended Description doesn't preserve formatting #45

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
If a job or transformation contains extended description with formatting (eg. 
line breaks), these are not preserved.

This can easily be fixed in kettle-report.xslt in 
<xls:template name="description">:

<xsl:if test="$node/extended_description[text()]">
  <p>
    <xsl:call-template name="PreserveLineBreaks">
      <xsl:with-param name="text" select="$node/extended_description"/>
    </xsl:call-template>
  </p>
</xsl:if>

where I take the template "PreserveLineBreaks" from
http://www.danrigsby.com/blog/index.php/2008/01/03/preserving-line-breaks-in-xml
-while-transforming-to-html-with-xslt/

Btw.; it would also be nice to preserve white-space, but I've not yet figured 
out how to do that :-(

Hi! thanks for spotting this. 

I can (and should) preserve whitespace, but since the output format is HTML, 
things like linebreaks won't display as linebreaks in the output either.

I suppose I could copy the contents in a way that you could use html tags 
inside descriptions, would you like that?

Hi Roland - Thx.
HTML tags would only help if they were supported by Spoon as well - else they 
would clutter the screen at the primary location for reading these comments ... 
but it's of course never hurting to have that option; and I'm sure others will 
love it!

Hi Roland,

thanks a lot, looks great! (I needed change the directories in 'Create 
${OUTPUT_DIR} ...' to become independent of your paths)

@manisha.kamble08,

hey, I already commented on the exact same request here 
http://code.google.com/p/kettle-cookbook/issues/detail?id=55. Can you please 
take the time to digest that comment?

In the future please stop adding comments to issues where they don't belong.
