Below programs illustrate the use of HTMLEditor class:
- Java program to create a HTMLEditor and add to the stage: In this program we will create a HTMLEditor named htmleditor. We will also create a TilePane named tilepane,and then add the htmleditor to the tilepane using the getChildren().add() function. We will create a scene and add tilepane to it. We will add the scene to the stage using the setScene() function and display the stage using the show() function to display the final results.
