Description:

Hard
text
means text contents are present in two different paragraph tags and are separated
by break tag (<BR>).
Eg. <td>
<p>
I like to do RND
</p>
<br />
<p>
in DotNet
</p>
</td>
·
Soft text means text contents are present in
same paragraph tag and are separated by break tag (<BR>).
Eg. <td>
<p>
I
like to do RND
<br />
in DotNet
</p>
</td>

Advantage of Soft Header:
it
merges the content of two or multiple paragraph tags into one which make it easier
for user to edit the content and format content with html styles using the same
paragraph tag.
Methods
to be used:
1.
ProcessTableHeaders()
It process
html table select its <head> tag OR First Row. By default it processes first row considering it header which can be
changed for multiple header row’s cases
2.
ReformLineEndings()
It merges
content of two paragraphs inside table cell (<td>) with <br> separator.
3.
GetCleanText()
Returns only text inside html tag.
