You can write custom processing rules that will be run by the report. You can create simple text replacements as well as more complex regular expressions.

The following standard rules are provided.

Uppercase: All text is placed in uppercase letters.
Lowercase: All text is placed in lowercase letters.
TextToTitleCase: Capitalizes the first letter in a string, depending on the language ID that is provided. The method does not guarantee that it will be capitalized correctly in accordance with grammar rules. For more information, see TextInfo.ToTitleCase Method.
Trim: Removes space characters from the beginning and end of a string.
StringReplace: Replaces the text. The replacement is case sensitive.
RegularExpression: Replaces the text based on a regular expression provided. This advanced replace method is case insensitive. For more information, see Regular Expression Language - Quick Reference.
