Yeah, from what I can tell you can only feed it plain ascii text. So if you
do scrape you will need to strip out the html. To get formatted text, like a
headline that is 24pt bold italic, you would have to first import a bold
italic font using the CF_PDF_FONT tag, then use the CF_PDF_TEXT tag around
that headline text, declaring the font size, color, etc.
Basically, instead of using HTML for any formatting you have the 13
formatting tags they provide.
