PR #5421 adds RichTextComponent, a read-only component for formatted application text. It supports headings, inline styles, lists, links, and images without embedding a web view.
What is Codename One? Codename One is an open-source framework for building native iOS, Android, desktop, and web apps from a single Java or Kotlin codebase. Learn more at codenameone.com.
A SpanLabel applies one style to wrapped text. A BrowserComponent renders a complete web page. RichTextComponent covers formatted document content between those two cases and participates in ordinary Codename One layout.
Rich text inside a scrollable container
A common screen mixes formatted text with buttons, images, forms, and other Codename One components inside one scrollable container. A BrowserComponent is a poor fit for that layout because it owns a rectangular native surface and its own page viewport. The browser's document height does not naturally become the height of a child inside the parent Codename One layout.
