I know the new TextLayoutFramework will take a little time to get used to and losing htmlText kinda sucks, but how can I pass html elements to a textarea and get them to render correctly? In this case, I control the elements <b>, <i>, <font> being pushed to the textarea.

I have a textarea (ta) that I want to push html elements to. I googled around and found the TextFlowUtil and saw examples of people using it. However when I attempt it I get 'Error: Unknown element font'.

Here is my text 'creator' (in one function):
/mess = "<font color='#" + textColor + "'>" + UserDataModel.getInstance().person.getString('nickname')+ " says: " + mss + "</font>";
/
Here is how I am attempting to get it into the textarea (ta) (in a different function):
/ta.textFlow = TextFlowUtil.importFromString(e.getMessage() + "\n");/

Basically the 'mess' gets put into a message, sent to the server, returned to a different function and the textArea gets updated.

I also have the same problem with <b> where the error is something like 'Unknown Element b'. Thanks!
