I'm suprised by your results, I was going to suggest a technique like
this. I haven't found it yet, but at some point I created a procedure
that used this technique to convert WPSO text into formatted HTML (there
were some limitations on what formatting would be converted, but it did
the basics - font, size, color, bold, italic, centered, right
justification). I definitely had it working with over 100 characters.
