HTML is an acronym for HyperText Markup Language, a legacy syntax used to structure and link text and multimedia documents which is still used extensively on the World Wide Web.
Two HTML outputs are supported, this HTML is a single simple HTML document, with no supporting files. See the section called “HTML-Zip” for a more comprehensive output, that can include multiple files, with navigation and embedded images.
The HTML render properties consist of a single option:
Skip Header: The skip headers check box when selected will remove the HTML headers from the output and supply only the contents of the body. This makes it easier to embed the output into other documents.
Because this renderer is targeted at a cut-down, simple HTML output,
for ease of integration with other web interfaces, it only generates
a single file. This means images visible within the designer won't appear
in the output, unless they are identified by external URLs (for example
http or ftp protocols). Also, images generated by the render engine,
such as charts and RTF components, won't appear because they have no
external URL to identify them. The images themselves behave differently
as well. HTML has no concept of image clipping, so choosing the
Clip SizeMode will produce a normal unscaled image,
whereas both Zoom and Stretch will produce a stretched image.
If you want to see all of the components exactly as they appear in the designer, perhaps spanning multiple pages and with navigation, then you need to use HTML-Zip, which preserves all of the report information, supporting images and other files within the zip.
