Show rendered HTML from Output block

L_VN — Tue, 21 Nov 2023 11:19:49 GMT

I want my output block to show me a rendered version of HTML code. If I use the Parse as HTML function in a Output block it displays the HTML code in the browser as text. Is there a workaround to solve this?

Hi @L_VN ,

It doesn't seem possible to do this with the output block.

Edit on 10:55AM: The block does seem to support markdown as described in the user guide

Yes, markdown works within the Automation, but when accessing the output from the "Get Example" (https://tenant.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/automations/automation-id/actions/execute?X-Execution-Token=token-id) it always displays a JSON object.

My solution is to redirect the user to my own website.

Hi @L_VN ,

You mean the automations trigger URL, and that automation has an output block, so when i trigger that automation i should see the output of it in my browser?

Thanks

Hi @L_VN ,

I understand what you are trying to do but the output block does not support HTML.

Also, it seems like the automation is returning the output as an array/list to the browser so you won't be able to see the markdown rendered.

Our output tab in QAA does render the markdown.
