    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 class="moz-txt-link-freetext" 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>

                      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.<br>
