Hi Folks,

I wanted to find out more about formatting HTML text in a scrollable view.

Can you add HTML Formatting like a href, tel:, link to a PDF?

Thanks

The only way to render HTML is to use either a native.newWebView or the older native.showWebPopUp. Since both of these are “native” objects, they are not part of the Corona SDK OpenGL imaging system. That is you cannot insert a webView into a scrollView.

Your webView however gives you scrolling if the content is bigger than the webView so that might work for you. Since the webView is based on the native browser’s abilities it can handle anything you throw at an HTML browser.
