BRGText creates a text component that can be fed into BetterReportGenerator or BRGGroup to appear in an HTML report. It converts incoming features—regardless of geometry or schema—into BRGComponent features that encapsulate the HTML and CSS required to render a textual section.

Typical uses include:

Adding introductions, explanations, or narrative paragraphs.

Inserting headings or sub‑headings between visual components such as maps, tables, or charts.

Displaying dynamically grouped commentary (e.g. one description per city or per data category).
