HTML Text control in PowerApps does not render images

[RussellGove]

Hi,

I have a powerapps applicattion that's used used to display news articles from a sharepoint list named 'Posts';.  The list has a field called 'Body; of type Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks). I am displaying that in a poerapps HTML Text control.

The html text has image tags in it 

<img alt="October Fest 50K.jpg" src="/sites/TronNews/Documents/October%20Fest%2050K.jpg"  />

The HTML text copntrol does not render the images. I tried removing the alt tag, and adding the absolute url to the image, but it does not work.

How do i get the HTML Text control to display HTML Text with images?

Follow the example below:

"Show your <b><font color=blue>HTML</font></b> text here.
<img src=""https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTf8peeAQ8Jbw4lowjdYM9OYVJFJr8EwgGNTsJ6BtbqPdNHWz2m""
alt=""Testing"" width=""500"" height=""100"">"

Things to note:

when using the img tag within the HTMLText control, we need to add double quotes twice where it needs a double quote.

Regards,

Michael

Hello Michael @v-micsh-msft!

I have a question, How do you double a quote ?

I am trying with Substitute, but 1) I can't think of a way to automatize this during my whole string's length (which can be variable) and 2) How do you escape a quote inPA ? I tried to write "\"" but it won't work.. I tried to write """""" to add 2 quotes but it does not seem to work...

Thanks a lot !
