Local fix

Problem summary

• Users Affected:  Host On-Demand Bidi users
  In previous versions of Host On-Demand, multiline hotspots
  worked unintendently and support was never claimed for
  multiline hotspots.  A recent APAR inadvertently broke the
  function.
  

Problem conclusion

• A new html parameter was included to have the old behavior for
  multiline hotspots.
  Name:   EnableMultilineHotspots
  Values:  "on", "off", "true", "false"
  Description:  Prior to HOD 11.0.6, URL hotspots could span
  multiple lines, even though this was not a supported feature,
  it just happened to work.  In 11.0.6, APAR IC85125 broke the
  ability for a URL hotspot to span or wrap to a second line.  To
  get the previous behavior back, code this HTML parameter with a
  value of either 'on' or 'true'.  The default value is 'off' or
  'false'.
