You can display HTML5 tags in a BIRT design using a text item or a dynamic text item. These tags are used when the BIRT design is viewed or output as HTML. For example, HTML5 tags that display a canvas tag are used when the design file is displayed or output as HTML but are not displayed when the design file is output as a PDF or Word document.

This content appears in web browsers that support HTML5.
