Bullets and numbering within reports

Question

How do you add a bullet list and stylized numbered list using JasperReports?

Answer 1

Try:

1. Add static text (or a text field).
2. Set Markup in the Properties panel to: html
3. Use the following HTML markup in the text:

<ul>
  <li>bulleted item 1</li>
  <li>bulleted item 2</li>
</ul>
<ol>
  <li>ordered item 1</li>
  <li>ordered item 2</li>
</ol>

Answer 2

The problem starts, where we want to do automatic numbering without CSS styles. I solved this by implementing own JRDataSource.
