'' This sample shows how to render a hard-coded HTML string.
''
'' Adding DsHtml to your projects:
'' - Public classes and extension methods that enable rendering HTML
'' are provided by the GrapeCity.Documents.Html (DsHtml) package.
'' - DsHtml supports Windows, macOS and Linux platforms.
''
'' Dealing with errors when using DsHtml:
'' - If DsHtml is not doing what you expect (e.g. rendering HTML to PDF
'' produces an invalid PDF), check the content of the string property
'' GcHtmlBrowser.ErrorLog after the call to SaveAsPdf returns,
'' it may explain why the error occurred.
''
'' DsHtml uses a local copy of a Chromium-based browser.
'' You can either rely on Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browsers
'' installed in the operating system, or download an instance of
'' Chromium browser to the application's local folder or some shared folder.
'' If you know the custom path to an installed Chromium-based browser,
'' use it instead of the above-mentioned options.
'' The BrowserFetcher class can be used to install or fetch an already
'' installed browser, you can then use the BrowserFetcher.GetDownloadedPath()
'' to get the path to the browser. See the BrowserFetcher class for methods
'' retrieving the path to Chrome or Edge executables and for other
'' options and methods that help to download Chromium browser
'' to a local folder if necessary.
''
'' See the Util.NewHtmlBrowser() utility method used by this sample for a
'' implementation example.
''
'' The above notes apply to any project that uses DsHtml.
