public class HTML extends Label implements HasDirectionalHtml, HasDirectionalSafeHtml
A widget that can contain arbitrary HTML. This widget uses a <div> element, causing it to be displayed with block layout.

If you only need a simple label (text, but not HTML), then the Label widget is more appropriate, as it disallows the use of HTML, which can lead to potential security issues if not used properly.

Built-in Bidi Text Support

This widget is capable of automatically adjusting its direction according to its content. This feature is controlled by LabelBase.setDirectionEstimator(boolean) or passing a DirectionEstimator parameter to the constructor, and is off by default.

CSS Style Rules

  • .gwt-HTML { }

Example

public class HTMLExample implements EntryPoint {

  public void onModuleLoad() {
    // Create a Label and an HTML widget.
    Label lbl = new Label("This is just text.  It will not be interpreted "
      + "as <html>.");

    HTML html = new HTML(
      "This is <b>HTML</b>.  It will be interpreted as such if you specify "
        + "the <span style='font-family:fixed'>asHTML</span> flag.", true);

    // Add them to the root panel.
    VerticalPanel panel = new VerticalPanel();
    panel.add(lbl);
    panel.add(html);
    RootPanel.get().add(panel);
  }
}
