pdf - How to add a rich Textbox (HTML) to a table cell? -

i have rich text box named:”documentcontent” i’m going add content pdf using below code:

itextsharp.text.font font = fontfactory.getfont(@"c:\windows\fonts\arial.ttf", basefont.identity_h, basefont.embedded, 12f, font.normal, basecolor.black);             documentcontent = system.web.httputility.htmldecode(documentcontent);             chunk chunkcontent = new chunk(documentcontent);             chunkcontent.font = font;                          phrase phrasecontent = new phrase(chunkcontent);             phrasecontent.font = font;               pdfptable table = new pdfptable(2);             table.widthpercentage = 100;             pdfpcell cell;              cell = new pdfpcell(new phrase(phrasecontent));             cell.border = rectangle.no_border;             table.addcell(cell); 

the problem when open pdf file content appears html not text below:

<p>overview&#160; line1 </p><p>overview&#160; line2 </p><p>overview&#160; line3 </p><p>overview&#160; line4</p><p>overview&#160; line4</p><p>overview&#160; line5&#160;</p> 

but should below

overview line1 overview line2 overview line3 overview line4 overview line4 overview line5 

what i'm going keep styling user apply rich text , change font family arial.

i can change font family need decode content html text.

could please advise? thanks

please take @ htmlcontentforcell example.

in example, have html mention:

public static final string html = "<p>overview&#160;line1</p>"         + "<p>overview&#160;line2</p><p>overview&#160;line3</p>"         + "<p>overview&#160;line4</p><p>overview&#160;line4</p>"         + "<p>overview&#160;line5&#160;</p>"; 

we create font <p> tag:

public static final string css = "p { font-family: cardo; }"; 

in case, may want replace cardo arial.

note registered regular version of cardo font:

fontfactory.register("resources/fonts/cardo-regular.ttf"); 

if need bold, italic , bold-italic, need register fonts of same cardo family. (in case of arial, you'd register arial.ttf, arialbd.ttf, ariali.ttf , arialbi.ttf).

now can parse html , css list of element objects parsetoelementlist() method. can use these objects inside cell:

pdfptable table = new pdfptable(2); table.addcell("some rich text:"); pdfpcell cell = new pdfpcell(); (element e : xmlworkerhelper.parsetoelementlist(html, css)) {     cell.addelement(e); } table.addcell(cell); document.add(table); 

see html_in_cell.pdf resulting pdf.

i not have time/skills provide example in itextsharp, should easy port c#.
