Can someone explain how to use HtmlWorker and ColumnText?  

> PdfContentByte cb = pdfWriter.getDirectContent();
>             
> ColumnText ct = new ColumnText(cb);
> ct.setSimpleColumn(...);
> ct.setYLine(...);
> if (list != null) {
>   for (int i=0; i < list.size(); i++) {
>     ct.addElement((Element)list.get(i));
>   }
> }
> ct.go();


I'm using vb.net so here is my code
Private sub useHtmlWorker()
  Dim document As New Document(PageSize.A4)
  Dim fs As New System.IO.FileStream(System.IO.Path.GetTempPath 
& "itext5.pdf",  IO.FileMode.Create)
  Dim pdfWriter As iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfWriter = 
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, fs)
  document.Open()
  Dim style As html.simpleparser.StyleSheet = createStyleSheet()
  Dim sr As System.IO.StreamReader = System.IO.File.OpenText
(System.IO.Path.GetTempPath & "oc2.htm")
  Dim list As ArrayList = html.simpleparser.HTMLWorker.ParseToList(sr, style)
  Dim cb As iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfContentByte = pdfWriter.DirectContent
  Dim ct As New iTextSharp.text.pdf.ColumnText(cb)
  ct.SetSimpleColumn(document.Left, 0, document.Right, 24)
  ct.YLine = 1
  If Not list Is Nothing Then
    Dim i As Integer
    For i = 0 To list.Count - 1
      ct.AddElement(CType(list.Item(i), IElement))
      ct.Go()
      ct.YLine += 1
    Next
  End If
  sr.Close()
  document.Close()
End Sub

If I move the ct.Yline += 1 and/or the ct.Go lines around (remove yline, move 
go outside of loop like you had, I get that the document has no pages.  as it 
is, my lines are written on top of each other; some of them are fine though.)

I'd appreciate any pointers, thanks so much!
