Several controls support a DRAWHTML property that allows them to use a limited subset of HTML markup tags to control their text formatting. This is not true HTML, rather it is a simple markup language that may offer some familiarity to developers and make it easier to use.
The supported tags are:
| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
| <b> | Specifies that the text should be rendered in a bold font. |
| <baseline> | Specifies the alignment at the baseline of the current line's text. |
