The FormattedTextArea class accepts the following HTML tags and attributes. Some of the attributes are in addition to the attribute found in HTML and are used for advanced paragraph and line properties. Please note that white space can be treated literally or ignored (standard behavior for HTML).
These tags map directly into the FormattedTextAreaStyle class. This class is used internally to manage the state of the Formatted Text Area. The style property of the Formatted Text Area represents the initial state of the text.
