Hello Salazone,

Thanks for posting your query in PSC. :)

Are you formating the text that is to be displayed? I am trying to understand the usage of RTE control in Repeating Grid. Instead of RichTextEditor control, how about using TextArea(A text area is an area in which the user types or pastes one or multiple lines of text, without formatting the text.)

Refer the attached document showing how to restrict the display of content of TextArea control to 3 rows. Does this help at your end?

PS: My observation is from Pega 7.1.7.

Hi Rincy,

Thanks for your response. The problem is that I am using an RTE at the source - the person that inputs the data uses HTML code as well as text when inputting the data. I need to display the data in search results and the only way I can find to do that effectively is with an RTE. The problem is that the results are incosistent (some blocks have more data than others) so to make my search results look neat I need to limit the results to 3 lines. I can't use a text area because it displays all the <br> <p> HTML tags along with the text.

If I can't display HTML text with a text area or limit the results in an RTE to 3 lines, what are my other options?

Thanks,
SALAZONE

Hello Salazone, 

Thanks for the response. 

In case you intend to use RTE with html tag, I think you could face an issue as per the below post:

Hi Rincy,

Thanks for your response, however exporting search results to Excel will not be an option. I still need to control the number of lines in the search results.

Hello Salazone, 

Thanks for the update.

Alternatively, you can use pzEllipsis control. This will introduce "..." if the number of character exceeds the permissible limit.
