RE: DIY mark-up to PDF

I think "manual" wasn't the best term to express my meaning. Maybe "brute force" would have been more clear.

Here's pseudo code for what the .NET code does, and what I figure I'll do:
If Text = 'FontBold = True';
Doc.FontBold = true;
Elseif Text = 'FontBold = False';
Doc.FontBold = false;
Endif;
If Text = 'FontUnderline = True';
Doc.FontBold = true;
Elseif Text = 'FontUnderline = False';
Doc.FontBold = false;
Endif;
If Text.startsWith('X');
Doc.xCoord = Text.substring(1);
Endif;
If Text.startsWith('Print');
If Text.endsWith(';') = false;
Doc.Print(Text);
Doc.AdvanceLine();
Else;
Doc.Print(Text.replace(';','');
Endif;
Endif;
