indent and bullets in Report Text tool

[Dynamomo]

Dear wonderful Alteryx community,

I'm looking to create an output from the Report text tool to RTF that has indenting and bullets.  Is that even possible?  Could it be done using the Expert Mode (PCXML)?  Any ideas for workarounds if not possible?

Example:

Here is a subject title

• Now I want to be able to create bullets and when the text extends to the end of the line and beyond, I want the remaining text to be indented like this.

Then I want to be able to continue to put text indented below but without a bullet.

Thanks!
Maureen

Hi @Dynamomo, 

Reporting tools often have many ways to reach the same answer! I wouldn't be surprised if there's a raw PCXML approach (perhaps by modifying the solution from this post?) but one way to get this done is to align each of your elements as separate report snippets. By using an empty Report Text Tool to horizontally layout and align the indents before vertically combining prior to rendering, we can output an .rtf file that appears as below. 

The workflow to arrive at this solution is attached. 

Hope this helps!

Hi @Dynamomo , I have tried to solve this using htmlpassthrough let me know if this helps.

Thanks.

@lmorrell - thanks for this.  it will get me a lot closer to what I need.

Hi @grazitti_sapna ,

I can't get anything to be produced from the workflow. the browser is empty and it does not appear to render anything out. Did you get this to work for you?

Thats an issue with the validate PCXML, if you untick it you will get the result.

Here is a workaround but I have no explanation why that helps.
