The Output Text component is rendered as a read-only, single-line text field.

• Label: label of the output box
• Content: object that is displayed in the output box

• Format: formatting applied on the object defined in the Content property

  The applicable format depends on the data type of the object from the Content property:

  • Format for a Date object: as java.text.SimpleDateFormat, for example "EEE, MMM d, ''yy"
  • Format for Integer and Decimal: as java.text.DecimalFormat, for example "#0.00"
  • Format for a String can be set to:
    • html: HTML tags are supported.
    • plaintext: Line breaks in the Content object are ignored.
    • preformatted: Line breaks are respected.
  • Objects of other types are transformed with the toString() function with no format options.
