Max (cc-ed) might be a better resource. I'm not really up on text.

Hi Tucker,
In this JIRA, there are two problems:
Example 21.12 is trying to show how you can use <text> with
multiline=false.
That seems backwards to me. If you want multiple lines, I would think
you would have to have multiline="true".
The text states that you can use <br /> tags to force line breaks,
but this doesn't
work. The reference says the same thing. This did not work in
version 3.4 either.
In the example, the text doesn't break.
canvas height="125">
<simplelayout spacing="5"/>
<text bgcolor="#ccccff" multiline="false" width="500" height="100">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Cras<br/>
nibh. Quisque justo. Donec porta, wisi quis vehicula interdum,<br/>
augue dui pharetra lectus, non adipiscing purus nibh vitae purus.
</text>
</canvas>
Example 21.18 is trying to show that you can't have an image in text
if there is
no text. This doesn't work: the image shows up either way. Here's
the example:
<canvas height="100">
<text multiline="true" height="80">
Some text and
<img src="./images/horse-3.jpg" width="20" height="20"
align="left"/>
some more text
</text>
</canvas>
No clue on this. Sounds like it was documenting a bug that has gone
away perhaps?
