actually, it is a bug - besides the weird <stack> thing, it is incorrectly handling the formatting tags as it breaks the string, so that paired tags like <b> and </b> may wind up in two lines and may not work correctly, or at all.
 
Line breaking without formatting tags seems to work decently (a few tests), but my Quick Brown string really confuses it, even if it shouldn't need to break the line to fit the width, it still thinks it has to.

In testing the HTML drawing aspect (v8.13)

     s := '<p>Now is the time for the <b>Quick</b> <i> Brown </i> <u>Fox</u> to jump over the lazy dog''s incredibly ugly back. <br><br>More on this story as events unfold.';
     s := QP.DrawHTMLTextBox(1.00,1.00,6.00,0.33,s);


s ought to contain the portion of the original html string that didn't draw in the call.  Here is what s actually contains:


"<stack><!--0000000101EC4ADC00000010##000000        N00000000L--></stack><br>More on this story as events unfold."


This is more or less correct, and a second call outputs the remainder correctly, but it makes it more difficult for the calling code to determine if there is more text to output.  Removing everything up through "</stack>" does not seem to affect the output.
