Hi Yuriy,

Currently Telerik Reporting does not operate with HTML content. Exception is when the report is rendered in HTML because the browser that usually displays the report, handles the HTML itself. Unfortunately the rest of the supported formats - Image (GDI), PDF, XLS, RTF do not support HTML out of the box and we're still looking for possible ways to implement our own HTML rendering in most of the supported export formats. You can use an approach similar to the one presented in this KB article to differentiate between the formats.

All the best,

This is somewhat misleading.  The other output formats don' t need to support HTML, they just need to support LINKS.  PDF and RFT already support embedded links.  Why can't you support a url/link property for the text box that only get's applied for the output formats that support links?  HTML/PDF/RTF are the 3 most popular output formats, and they all support links.
