I am trying to create a rich text template with Jasper. The result should be a document with many paragraphs, indented lists, some have sublists, and titles. The whole document will spread on several pages and since many parts of the document are generated from data the page breaks are not fixed.

My first question is, is my use case actually something one should do with jasper or should I rather set up something with markdown or even LateX? All templates and examples I was able to find where more one pagers with tables and graphs but no several pages documents, however Jasper has a fast creation time and would also be able to create word files (in addition to pdfs) which is a big plus.

If I am using Jasper for the right purpose then should I use a new text field for each paragraph or should I write the whole document in one text field? I don't like the idea of writing everything into one since Jasper doesn't allow to format the code all to well and also I had problems with new pages.

Or should I create a new text field for each paragraph? this is what I tried below but I struggle with the layout, the paragraphs come over each other and some parts are repeated on every page while some never appear. My whole document is messed up and I can not understand why, changing parameters does make changes but I can not comprehend what is happening

So if I should create a new text field for each paragraph how do I set the layout so that they appear after each other. They will be generated hence the length is not fixed and I want the paragraphs to be evenly spread not have different spaces between them.

To show the problems I have, see following jrxml file which compiles to a document with a messed up layout. I know that I could just set all text fields to float and set them to the exact position but that is not the idea since I will have generated fields, so what I look for is some kind of flowlayout.
