public class FlowLabel
extends Canvas
The FlowLabel is a simple text label that wraps text into its container. Line breaks always occur according to the line BreakIterator object. Simple html-style commands are interpreted to achieve bold and italics within the text.

Here is the code for this applet: 

 import java.applet.Applet;
 import java.awt.*;
 import com.sun.wizards.awt.*;
 public class Test extends Applet
 {
   public void init()
     {
       add(new FlowLabel("Flowlabel test:  < bold >This is an example" +
                         " of bold text< /bold >.  < italics >This is an" +
                         " example of italics text< /italics >."));
     }
 }

As the container is resized, the text will reflow to fit the container's new width.
