DrawHTMLTextBox
Text, HTML text, Page layout
Description
Similar to the DrawHTMLText function, but the text drawn is limited to a specific area. The remaining HTML text is returned, which can be passed to this function again (perhaps on a different page or location) until the function returns an empty string. See Appendix A for details of the supported HTML tags
