Question

I have a html template file, i am using server side java code to fill in the template and now want to print the file on the same server. Now when i print it, html tags are also coming. What should i do to get html formatting also rather than tags?

Answer 1

A browser is an HTML rendering engine. If you want the HTML to be rendered (“formatted”) you need a browser or some alternate rendering engine.

If you want to print from the command line, you can use a command line printing tool such as Command Line Print, which will send your document through Firefox like this:

firefox -print http://www.example.com/index.html

or

firefox -print file://path/to/your/file.html
