High performance text component

[Tom Schindl]

Hi,

I don't see a problem. Why can't you simply load your RTF-String from a
ResourceBundle and process it with a class which produces the DOM-Structure?

Well having a StyledString-Class in JavaFX which is able to produce a
dom-structure would be maybe a nice addition to the framework but having
the internal representation as DOM like structure (Paragraph/Text) is
something I'd favor because it provides much more freedom for those who
need it.
