The HtmlLayout Page Element renders HTML content within a specified area of the PDF page. It supports tags and properties based on HTML 4.0.1 and the CSS 2.1 specification, including some limitations (highlighted below the example).

This example shows simple Header Footer Text being displayed on the document.

} catch (URISyntaxException ex) { }
