A paragraph of rich text.

The RichText widget displays text that uses multiple different styles. The text to display is described using a tree of TextSpan objects, each of which has an associated style that is used for that subtree. The text might break across multiple lines or might all be displayed on the same line depending on the layout constraints.

Text displayed in a RichText widget must be explicitly styled. When picking which style to use, consider using of the current BuildContext to provide defaults.

When all the text uses the same style, consider using the Text widget, which is less verbose and integrates with DefaultTextStyle for default styling.

Example:

new RichText(
  text: new TextSpan(
    text: 'Hello ',
    style: DefaultTextStyle.of(context).style,
    children: <TextSpan>[
      new TextSpan(text: 'bold', style: new TextStyle(fontWeight: FontWeight.bold)),
      new TextSpan(text: ' world!'),
    ],
  ),
),
