I want to pass in some html like this

<ol><li>This is test</li>
<li>line 2</li></ol> <p><strong><em>line 3</em></strong></p>

And then I want it to be displayed in my report like it would if I had
done it on a web page.

Mattism,
I've already answered the exact same type of question on 1/20/2006 titled
Crystal 11. Look back a few pages to find it and if you still don't find it
then post back and I will help you out.

For a description of RTF rendering limitations in Crystal Reports, see:

For a description of HTML rendering limitations in Crystal Reports,
see:
http://support.businessobjects.com/...icles/c2014842.

To support the </li> content You can create or buy a UFL to convert the
HTML content to RTF and display the result in Crystal. My "CUT Light"
UFL already has functions that do this.

Alternatively, use the Replace() function in Crystal to substitute
static text for the li tags.
