Bill, There was a major reworking of TextArea for Pivot 2.0. Some info is listed on the wiki here.
https://cwiki.apache.org/PIVOT/major-feature-changes-between-15x-and-20.html PIVOT-555 Re-implement TextArea PIVOT-31 Add rich text support to TextPane (formerly TextArea) There is a demo application for TextPane in the demos project which is included in the Pivot 2,0 source download, or directly from SVN http://pivot.apache.org/download.cgi#2.0 http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/tags/v2.0/demos/src/org/apache/pivot/demos/text/ As mentioned on the wiki, TextPane is relatively new and untested. We would welcome JIRA tickets for any bugs/improvements you may find, or better yet, patches addressing them!

Do any of them work? Are there examples anywhere?
