[Not supported by the Community Edition]

The standard text output functions like Print() and Write() are in regular sufficient to create complex and rich documents. For special use cases VPE provides a Text Block Object, which provides more complex text layout functionality.

The Text Block Object allows to split a large block of text into smaller parts, so small pieces of the whole continuous text can be rendered and spread in any position at any width with any number of lines within a document.

As a result VPE can perform multi-column layout, text can flow around other objects or regions and text can be spread over any number of pages under full control, without using the AutoBreak event-handler.

This can be done with plain text, as well as Rich Text (RTF, requires Professional Edition or higher).
