How can I format text in GWT label widget

Question

I would like to break a long line of text assigned to the standard Label widget in GWT. I was experimenting with inline <br /> elements but with no success.

Something like this:

label = "My very very very long<br />long long text"

Answer 1

You need to use the HTML widget, which extends the standard Label widget, and adds support for interpreting HTML tags.

See the JavaDoc.

Answer 2

I would use CSS to style the label to fit a given with and drop the <br/> all together.
