Kind of confusing title, but the problem is somewhat simple.
I am generating a PDF through iText and I am using HTML for being simpler.
I am performing the example below the only problem is that I would like to modify the tag symbol <li> for a square as below:
<li type='square'>Teste</li>
My code:
public static final String DEST = "\\pdfteste\\html_2.pdf";
public static void main(String[] args) {
try{
File file = new File(DEST);
file.getParentFile().mkdirs();
new TestiText7().createPdf(DEST);
}catch(Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void createPdf(String file) throws IOException, DocumentException {
// step 1
Document document = new Document();
// step 2
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(file));
writer.setInitialLeading(12);
// step 3
document.open();
// step 4
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("<html><head></head><body>");
sb.append("<ol><li>Teste</li>");
sb.append("<li>Teste</li>");
sb.append("<ul><li>Teste</li><li>Teste</li></ul>");
sb.append("<li>Teste</li>");
sb.append("<ul><li>Teste</li><li>Teste</li><ul><li type=\"square\">Teste</li></ul></ul>");
sb.append("</ol>");
sb.append("</body><html>");
XMLWorkerHelper.getInstance().parseXHtml(writer, document,
new StringReader(sb.toString()));
// step 5
document.close();
}
}
This is the result in the file. Someone went through something or just can’t do it?
Can you do something similar to CSS? I don’t know if it will, but if it does, I think that would be the way.

@Victorstafusa I will still check if via CSS right, but I wanted to go the simplest way.
