I'm not sure if I've mentioned this to you yet, but keep in mind that wx 
HTML supports only basic HTML tags and no CSS[1].  However, you can 
still do quite a bit within that restriction, and it is quite suitable 
for formatted printing.

[1] There is one exception to this rule.  You can use <div 
style="page-break-before:always"> to insert a page break.
