    <p>I am exporting data from a p:dataTable into an excel file, and i the data in one of the columns in formatted in a special way using &lt; br > tags.</p> <p>Here is the layout: <a href="http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/9922/descriptionhidden.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">description http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/9922/descriptionhidden.jpg</a></p> <p>The problem is when i export the table, the &lt; br > tags are printed into the excel document like this: </p> <p><a href="http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/7051/exceldeshidden.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Excel description http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/7051/exceldeshidden.jpg</a></p> <p>The code i am using right now:</p> <pre><code> &lt;p:column sortBy="#{serviceLevel.titleAndDescription}"&gt; &lt;f:facet name="header"&gt;Description: &lt;/f:facet&gt; &lt;h:outputText style="font-weight:bold" value="Title: &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;" escape = "false"/&gt; &lt;h:outputText value="#{serviceLevel.title} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;" escape = "false"/&gt; &lt;h:outputText style="font-weight:bold" value="Description: &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;" escape = "false"/&gt; &lt;h:outputText value="#{serviceLevel.description}" /&gt; &lt;/p:column&gt; </code></pre> <p>I have tried to use normal &lt; br > tags between the outputText's which gave the same effect.</p> <p>I have tried to use a &lt; p:spacer > but the exporter doesn't support it :(</p> <p>Any idea's on how i can keep the layout for the user, but not show the html tags in the exported excel document?</p> <p>I am using Primefaces 3.5.</p>

    1. COHm, never ran in such an issue but have you tried to use the pre/postProcessor as mentioned in the PF doc [here](http://primefaces.org/documentation.html) on page 119? Cheers!

    2. COI am already using a postProcessor to style the Excel sheet (the bold font and background color in the header), but i don't know if there is something i can add to the postProcessor, that would make the < br > tags disappear?

    3. COHm, as said earlier: I've never done this by myself so I'm just suggestioning. Aren't you able to access the text inside the pre/postProcessor? If so, you could do a regex replace (all br-tags to CRLF). But the better solution would be to omit the <br> inside the table and style it via CSS eg. `<h:outputText style="font-weight:bold; padding-bottom: 20px;" value="Title:"`. Cheers!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
