Chapter 4 Using the Report Editor
An HTML presentation template file has an .HTMLTPL extension and allows you to define the following properties:
When you apply an HTML presentation template to a report all the corresponding properties defined in the presentation template are displayed in their respective field in the Report property sheet. Beside, all the options you have defined before (ex: font) are no longer taken into account. The styles defined in the presentation template file will be applied.
