/* This function breaks when certain formatting styles are applied - centering=BAD, although parents may work.
      The containing box must be large enough for the entire object. Test it and leave some space, just in case.

    sCreatetext : The text to insert into the file
    iEffect     : Index code for the effect
    iDX         : X Offset per shadow layer - generally 1 or -1, fractions permissible and will be rounded
    iDY         : Y Offset as above
    iBaseColour : Colour of the text's lowest element, also the colour displayed if JS is disabled
    iColour     : Colour of the top-most layer
    iCount      : Number of shadow layers, excluding base
    iColourMod  : Used per layer to modify the shadow's colour: +0xRRGGBB

  Effects 0, 1 and 3 require only sCreateText and iEffect to display, Effect 2 requires ALL arguments
