Crystal HTML Text Interpretation

[Former Member]

I have this information saved in my SQL database field varchar(max):

<span style="text-decoration: underline">This should be underline</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold">This should be bold</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic">This should be Italics</span>

When I add the field to Crystal and set the Text Interpretation to HTML. Crystal is ignoring the HTML Tags. The report is printing like this:

This should be underlineThis should be boldThis should be Italics

Its ignoring underline, bold, italic and <br> tag. I know crystal is limited to HTML tag interpration but I thought these tags are between the guidelines.

Am I doing something wrong?
