About FormattedText

Use the formattedText component to output formatted text containing a limited set of HTML markup. The formattedText component supports the following HTML markup only:

 
<hr>
<li>,<ol>,<ul>



<tt>
<big>

<pre>

<a>

and the following entities:

<
>
&
®
©
 
"

ADF UIX might modify the input HTML for output. For example, paragraph and list item elements are closed if they are left open in the input text. Other HTML markup may be replaced with output that is more appropriate to the current look-and-feel or user agent.

Tip: Use the rawText component if you require more HTML markup functionality. For HTML tables or HTML links, you can use the rawText component or you can use the tableLayout or link component, respectively.

The formattedText component supports both the styleClass and styleUsage attributes. If both attributes are set, the styleClass attribute takes precedence over the styleUsage attribute.
