HTML editor
The HTML editor displays simple formatted HTML text in a Traits UI view.
If the text is held in an HTML trait, then the HTMLEditor is the default. If
the text is held in a Str trait, then you may specify the HTMLEditor explicitly
if you wish to display it as HTML.
The supported subset of HTML tags and features depends on the UI toolkit (WX or
QT). This editor does not support style sheets. It does not support WYSIWYG
editing of the text, though the unformatted text can be edited in a plain text
editor.
The HTML editor can optionally be configured to do simple formatting of lists
and paragraphs without HTML tags, by setting the editor's 'format_text'
parameter True.
