Example

The following example uses a Switch statement to evaluate whether the body of a field has rich text formatting. If rich text is applied, hyperlinks are automatically generated without encoding; otherwise, hyperlinks are encoded.

<Switch>
   <Expr>
      <FieldProperty Name="Body" Select="RichText" />
   </Expr>
   <Case Value="TRUE">
      <HTML><![CDATA[ <div> ]]></HTML>
      <Limit Len="250" AutoHyperLinkNoEncoding="TRUE" MoreText="...">
         <Column Name="Body" />
      </Limit>
      <HTML><![CDATA[ </div> ]]></HTML>
   </Case>
   <Default>
      <Limit Len="250" MoreText="..." AutoHyperLink="TRUE"
            AutoNewLine="TRUE">
         <Column Name="Body" />
      </Limit>
   </Default>
</Switch>
