etox is meant to be a lot more complex than evas could/would/should do.
basically its mean t to do entire page formatting with paragraphs, columns, text
wrapping/flowing around objects/obstacles, alignment, change of font size, font,
style, color, embed "links" etc. basically what the DOX code did in e16 - and
more, but in a library so it can be used where you need complex text handling.
