Render rich text from a string containing a subset of HTML 4. The only other properties that can be used with this are geometry and bgcolour. The geometry width and height defines the page or block size while its X and Y coordinates determine its position. This property has a higher priority than argument; argument is ignored if this property is set.

Render rich text from a file containing a subset of HTML 4. The only other properties that can be used with this are geometry and bgcolour.

title: Vertical Overflow

readonly: no
required: no
title: Pixel Ratio
description:
This option applies only when using html or resource properties. It adds a scaling factor to the rendering. This can be used to help to make MLT's output match a user interface. NOTE: this property is only used on Windows because it is the only platform found thus far that has different rendering behavior relative to device pixel ratio.
