==================

I filled out an online survey, where I used LS features such as text align or bold text.

When I downloaded a pdf of the survey, it is showing all of the code. 
E.g. 
if my response to a question was N/A, it reads (on the pdf) as <p> N/A</P> 

will all of the coding show in the response I submitted to the maker of the questionnaire?

Thanks

as you did not respond the basic information asked on the top (e.g. Limesurvey version), there is nothing we can do for you.

And should you decide to provide this information:

Also tell us which type of PDF you are referring to. Where exactly in the GUI it is generated, etc.

Regarding this response of "N/A": Is this a text question? I assume it must be, right?

Ohh, sorry. I now understand. You are a users, it is not your Limesurvey installation.

Yes, the <p>, etc. will probably show. This is probably something a browser plugin of yours included. Usually responses to text questions should be plain text, no html.

Is this because of the safari browser or because I used the functions like 'underline text'?

As I don't use Safari I won't be much of a help here. But I don't think that it is a general "Safari" thing.

But now I am curious: where does this function "underline text" come from? By the way, this is most probably the cause of these codes to show up. Sounds like some kind of Browser function or some kind of plugin is offering this function, because I am not aware of this function in Limesurvey during Survey taking. Might be a new feature though.

The page had a text editing tool bar, both on chrome and safari, similar to the toolbar on Microsoft word.

There you could align the text, underline and make bold headings etc.

As I understand this, the designer of the questionnaire inserted a text editing tool like "summernote" or other into a question of type "long text".
This is not a built-in feature of LimeSurvey.
So it might be possible that those HTML tags are handled as "normal" text.

You have to ask resp. inform the admin of the survey

If a WYSIWYG editor is implemented, the HTML tags will definitely be saved in the data.

I inserted "summernote" and got this.

  

 

Exactly what is saved in the database.
As tpartner already mentioned.
