Enum for controlling the layout of html.

- `NORMAL` means no rendering changes. This is the recommended choice for maximum compatibility across different platforms and Android versions.
- `SINGLE_COLUMN` moves all content into one column that is the width of the view.
- `NARROW_COLUMNS` makes all columns no wider than the screen if possible. Only use this for API levels prior to `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#KITKAT`.
- `TEXT_AUTOSIZING` boosts font size of paragraphs based on heuristics to make the text readable when viewing a wide-viewport layout in the overview mode. It is recommended to enable zoom support `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebSettings#setSupportZoom(boolean)` when using this mode. Supported from API level `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#KITKAT`
