I don't think I was very clear the other day.  What I am trying to do
doesn't really have anything to do with HTML, I just used HTML for an
example.

Lets say I have 4 tags that I am parsing for: (trying very hard to make them
not look like html)
<BOLD> <DLOB>
<ITALICS><SCILATI>

and I have a string
<BOLD>This is a test<DLOB> of the emergency broadcasting system. If this had
been a <ITALICS>real emergency<SCILATI> instructions on how to format the
text would have followed


I would like to render this text in something that has a bounded left, right
and bottom, so that the text grows up from the bottom of the bounded area.
I have accomplished this using a PdfPTable.  However, I can't get the text
to render, where I parse out the appriate formatter marker, and change the
font.  When I render to a cell, it uses the same font throughout the cell.
What I would like to do is render it as one block of text, and simply change
the font appropriately.  The mention of HTML in my first email was purely
about the tags I am going to parse though and base formatting decisions
upon.  I don't want to use HTML or any libs for it, but wanted to give
something for a theoretical example that everyone already understood.

Thanks again for your responses,

Matthew
