Description

When using HTML-frames in composer, there are several problems:
  1. When exporting to pdf, letter-spacing in this pdf is wrong (text appears too dense). Letter-spacing appears alright in composer.
  2. Sizes (CSS-styles), for example the width/height of a table or div, appear approximately 10% to small, both in composer and when exported to pdf.
  3. Borders (CSS-styles) less than 0.27mm do not appear, both in composer and when exported to pdf.
As an alternative i tried the same HTML-code in a label (rendered as HTML).
  1. This has no problem with letter-spacing in pdf export.
  2. It has the same problems with sizes, everything is about 10% too small.
  3. Borders less than 0.27mm are possible.
    So this method is less bugged.

Do you have a sample project or HTML you can share?

#2 Updated by Albert van de Maat about 10 years ago

Posted a sample project.
It has 1 composer item "A4", with a label (rendered as html) and an HTML frame using Test.html
Also made a pdf export.

By the way, when making this sample i found that the buttom "update html" in the html-frame doesn't work.
Also there is no update when exported to pdf.

This issue is still valid... Can someone reopen it please?
I attach a project created with Qgis 3.0.7 (it has one layout and nothing else) and the corresponding output pdf.
A probably related issue, also visible in the same layout: style="height:100%" doesn't work.

3.0.7 is tool old (maybe you meant 3.7?). Could you please test again on 3.4 or 3.6? If confirmed there we can reopen the ticket.
