    A text specified as a reference.

  • Quick info

    Text for the quick info.

The "a" tag displays a link with the formatted text as the text of the link. When the link is clicked on, the event FormattedTextView.onAction is triggered. The "href" parameter of the clicked on link is provided in the event parameter "href".

Note

The FormattedTextView does not display a URL automatically when a link is clicked on, even if "href" contains an http URL.

"img" Tag - Displays an Image

Syntax:

<img src="ImageSource" [title="Tooltip"]/>

Parameters:

  • ImageSource

<sap:field name="AttributeName"/>

Parameters:

  • AttributeName

    An attribute of FormattedTextView.dataSource

The "sap:field" tag is replaced by the value (output representation) of the context attribute that is specified by the name attribute. The attribute is taken from the lead selection element of the context node that is specified by FormattedTextView.dataSource.
