    Unfortunately rich text is not yet supported (fx 2.2).

    You can try next workarounds:

    1. Use RichTextEditor
    2. Use WebView
    3. Draw several Text on Canvas
    4. Just put Text/Labels with different formatting in HBox or TilePane.
    5. Create a transparent pane over the TextArea and draw an opaque highlights, but this can be hard due to complexity of finding out exact words coordinates.
