Rich UI Span

A Rich UI span lets you display a string that the user cannot change. The widget is different from a text label because inclusion of an HTML segment (such as <b>this boldfaced code</b>) causes the display of HTML-coded content such as this boldfaced code.

Here is an example:
package mypkg;

import com.ibm.egl.rui.widgets.Div;
import com.ibm.egl.rui.widgets.Span;
import egl.ui.color;

handler myHandler type RUIHandler{initialUI =[myDiv]}
   myDiv Div{children = [mySpan01, mySpan02, mySpan03]};
   mySpan01 Span{text = "mix blue ", color = "blue"};
   mySpan02 Span{text = " and yellow ", 
                 backgroundColor = "black", 
                 color = "yellow"};
   mySpan03 Span{text = " to see green", color = "green"};
end
Here is the output:

The main supported property is text, which takes the string to display. Other supported properties and functions are described in “Widget properties and functions.”

Use of this widget requires the following statement:
import com.ibm.egl.rui.widgets.Span;
