How to create a report with fields in between paragraph text? - formatting

Question

My report is something like below.
In the shown report, text in black color is static and the text in RED are fields to be replaced with some value dynamically by java.
In the above picture, line 1 and 2 I have no problem.
But for the paragraph I am not sure what to use? Should I use static-text box or Text field? If I use part static-text box and part dynamic, its becoming clumsy and difficult to maintain the line spacing.
So please advise how to design the following report in jasper studio 5.6.

Answer 1

Use a textField and then String concatenation on your text, when you need to number format use the NumberFormat API or the DecimalFormat API
If you need to break line, set bold text you can use html to achive this by setting markup="html" on the textElement
Example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jasperReport xmlns="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/xsd/jasperreport.xsd" name="test" pageWidth="595" pageHeight="842" whenNoDataType="AllSectionsNoDetail" columnWidth="555" leftMargin="20" rightMargin="20" topMargin="20" bottomMargin="20" uuid="0ef33a9d-fd2b-46cc-9ec4-c6906db8097b">
<property name="ireport.zoom" value="1.0"/>
<property name="ireport.x" value="0"/>
<property name="ireport.y" value="0"/>
<parameter name="testNumber" class="java.lang.Double" isForPrompting="false">
<defaultValueExpression><![CDATA[new Double(10000.23445)]]></defaultValueExpression>
</parameter>
<title>
<band height="57" splitType="Stretch">
<textField>
<reportElement x="0" y="0" width="373" height="57" uuid="2f795f8a-43fa-4b89-a173-76854a13ba48"/>
<textElement markup="html"/>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA["Just use a textField and string concat the other text a " + java.text.NumberFormat.getNumberInstance().format($P{testNumber}) + " as you see you can even format it and remeber if you set as html you can <br/> break line and <b>bold</b> text"]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
</band>
</title>
</jasperReport>
Output
