Ok pull request sent with a patch for the missing preview output and to enable multiline labels by default. Enabled multiline by default because users seem to struggle to get multiline working unless that feature is told to them.<div>

</div>That is because not all data providers use ids in interval [0,N-1].<br>
For example, postgres provider uses the column with primary key as ID<br>
- so the values may be arbitrary. It is better to do a select()<br>
followed by just one nextFeature().<br>
