What are the prospects for supporting HTML (or other formatted text) within
Java? Seems like this would be a useful Component class (e.g.,
HTMLTextArea) for uneditable data.
Another approach would be to write a variation on drawString() which
accepted a bounding rectangle and a stream of marked-up text.
A markup language like HTML could be parsed in Java, and and a series of
drawString() calls made, but how can an app measure the resulting string, in
order to position the next one?
