</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">To be honest, I think this will create problems when working with the RichTextArea API.
<br>
<br>
Why? Because every developer will intuitively look for setText. For example, TextArea<br>
—<a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/scene/control/TextArea.html">https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/scene/control/TextArea.html</a> —
<br>
has setText. CodeArea has setText. But RichTextArea doesn't. <br>
<br>
This doesn't seem very good. But that's just my personal opinion.<br>
<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I've just found out that RichTextArea doesn't have a setText method, but CodeArea does.<br>
<br>
Is this a mistake or was it done intentionally?<br>
<br>
Best regards, Pavel<br>
<br>
PS. Just don't think I spend my free time analyzing Javadoc. It's just that I once opened an issue in RTFX suggesting<br>
to add a setText method, and today, seeing this issue, I decided to mention that JavaFX RichTextArea has such<br>
a method. However, I was surprised not to find it.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
