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. 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 both argument and html; argument and html are ignored if this property is set.

Setting this property will not be serialized (unlike "disable"). When set true (1), the filter does not render. This allows an authoring tool to provide its own rendering while editing and then let the filter render outside the tool UI.

required: no
default: 0
title: Vertical Overflow
description:
This option applies only when using html or resource properties. It controls whether the text will be cropped to the geometry property or allowed to overflow. When not set, it is automatic based on whether the geometry height is greater than or equal to the profile height. The default is unset/automatic.
type: boolean
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.
