allow the application to use CSS to style parts of the visual representation of the given RichParagraph.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I am not a member of the JavaFX team, but if I may, I’d like to express my opinion. I believe that creating separate<br>
methods for styling individual properties is a very problematic and dangerous decision.<br>
<br>
First, the usefulness of such methods is minimal because when styling is done via CSS, the assumption is that<br>
adjusting the CSS file should be sufficient—something that won’t work in this case. For example one user for search<br>
result wants to set background color for matches but another one wants to set foreground color + weight.<br>
Second, it violates fundamental CSS principles. Third, if these methods are added to the API, they cannot later<br>
be removed without breaking backward compatibility.<br>
<br>
I wrote about this in detail in the additional information for JDK-8356436, but my comment has not yet been approved<br>
by a moderator.<br>
<br>
When in doubt, it’s very helpful to see how others are doing it. In RichTextFX, special CSS properties were introduced,<br>
which resulted in a consistent standard for applying CSS styles to all properties—fully aligned with established CSS norms.<br>
<br>
This is my personal opinion, which, of course, can be wrong.<br>
<br>
Best regards, Pavel<br>
