/**
    @class wxRichTextHTMLHandler

    Handles HTML output (only) for wxRichTextCtrl content.

    The most flexible way to use this class is to create a temporary object and call
    its functions directly, rather than use wxRichTextBuffer::SaveFile or
    wxRichTextCtrl::SaveFile.

    Image handling requires a little extra work from the application, to choose an
    appropriate image format for the target HTML viewer and to clean up the temporary
    images later.
    If you are planning to load the HTML into a standard web browser, you can
    specify the handler flag wxRICHTEXT_HANDLER_SAVE_IMAGES_TO_BASE64 (the default)
    and no extra work is required: the images will be written with the HTML.

    However, if you want wxHTML compatibility, you will need to use
    @c wxRICHTEXT_HANDLER_SAVE_IMAGES_TO_MEMORY or
    @c wxRICHTEXT_HANDLER_SAVE_IMAGES_TO_FILES.

    In this case, you must either call wxRichTextHTMLHandler::DeleteTemporaryImages
    before the next load operation, or you must store the image locations and
    delete them yourself when appropriate.

    You can call wxRichTextHTMLHandler::GetTemporaryImageLocations to
    get the array of temporary image names.


    @section richtexthtmlhandler_flags Handler flags

    The following flags can be used with this handler, via the handler's SetFlags()
    function or the buffer or control's SetHandlerFlags() function:

    - wxRICHTEXT_HANDLER_SAVE_IMAGES_TO_MEMORY
      Images are saved to the memory filesystem: suitable for showing wxHTML windows.
    - wxRICHTEXT_HANDLER_SAVE_IMAGES_TO_FILES
      Images are saved to temporary files: suitable for showing in wxHTML windows.
    - wxRICHTEXT_HANDLER_SAVE_IMAGES_TO_BASE64
      Images are written with the HTML files in Base 64 format: suitable for showing
      in web browsers.
    - wxRICHTEXT_HANDLER_NO_HEADER_FOOTER
      Don't include header and footer tags (HTML, HEAD, BODY), so that the HTML
      can be used as part of a larger document.
    - wxRICHTEXT_HANDLER_USE_CSS
      Use CSS where possible, otherwise use workarounds that will show in wxHtmlWindow.
