Report printing method and system based on HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) template

Abstract

The invention discloses a report printing method and a report printing system based on an HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) template. The related method comprises the following steps: creating an HTML template file according to a presentation requirement of a report, wherein a template language is embedded into the HTML template file, and the HTML template file contains a template file and a CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) file used for storing a display style and configuration information; embedding a dynamic content part in the report into the template file in a variable form according to a template language rule to form the template file; acquiring dynamic data needed by the generation of the report; replacing the dynamic data with corresponding variables by adopting a mapping dictionary to generate a standard HTML file; rendering the standard HTML file by utilizing a layout engine to generate the corresponding report; outputting the report according to the configuration information in the CSS file, and printing the report. According to the method and the system disclosed by the invention, a template-based dynamic printing function can be achieved, and the development cost and the post-maintenance cost are reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer technology, in particular to a report printing method and system based on an HTML template. Background technique [0002] No matter in the field of office or factory production, report printing is the most common daily work. For simple and static content, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel can be used as report making and printing tools; while reports with big data and dynamic content, such as finance and materials, use special components or controls to realize report generation based on the database system. Generate and print. Typical controls mainly include Crystal Reports, FastReport, FineReport, KD Reports, etc. The whole system is quite large and professional.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] For some factory products, before leaving the factory, it is necessary to perform test verification on special test equipment, record test data, and print test reports; this requires control software that can test records and dynamically print test reports. These data are mostly non-structural small amounts of data, and Due to different product models and customers, the printing content and layout are also different. During program development, the layout is printed at a fixed position. When the printing layout is changed, the program needs to be rewritten. The maintainability is poor and cannot meet the actual requirements.

Generally, the test equipment program does not use a database at the back end, and the amount of data is small; in addition to the report display and printing function, the main function of the test equipment program is the operation control of the equipment. The special report control used in the program is too bloated, and the report style of the special control is changed. When using special template editing software, you need to re-learn and familiarize yourself with it; moreover, most template files are in a dedicated format, which is not suitable for dissemination and communication
