I have a report which I need to create with BIRT which is simply two large sections of text. The text will come in from XML, so I could use an XML datasource to load the text, but how do I just create a text section which could span multiple pages, I’m not using tabular data or anything like that.
If you have an XML source with two elements, each containing a large section of text, you can use the XML data source or the Scripted Data Source. Drop the Data Set into a table, and set the page break on the Detail row to 1 row and always. This will break up the two large text elements into separate pages.
