Calculate total/tax in receipt

Question

Calculate total/tax in receipt

tmarcoe opened this issue 6 years ago · comments

I like your java library. I'm using it to generate html formatted emails. What I am trying to do is show a sales receipt with a total at the bottom. I have everything except a way to total up the price and tax for each line item so I can put the grand total at the bottom of the page. Is there any documentation that I am missing?

That should be computed by caller and is not the job of an html rendering library.

Thank you. I do have other questions, but let me see if I can figure these out for myself first. I know I can figure out at least some of them.

While I agree that the documentation could use some improvement, the functionality you're describing is outside of the scope of the project.

j2html is strictly a rendering library, it only cares about transforming Java code to HTML. Any business logic will have to be implemented by the end users.
