public class HTMLLabel extends TextFlow
A lightweight HTML label that mimics Swing's JLabel for basic HTML formatting. Supports <html>, <b>, <i> and <br> tags.

This control does not load fonts itself. Bold and italic styles are resolved through the application-wide FontRegistry, which must be populated once during application startup for every loaded font file (e.g. Inter-Bold.ttf, Inter-Italic.ttf). If no registered style is found, the label falls back to JavaFX's built-in font factory.
