Text paragraph

The TextParagraph widget displays a paragraph of text with optional simple HTML formatting. For example:

• Display bold, underlined, or italicized text with HTML <b>, <u>, <i> tags.
• Link to websites with HTML <a href="https://www.google.com">hyperlinks</a>.
• Add some color with HTML <font color="#ea9999">font tags</font>.

Each TextParagraph widget renders as a new paragraph, and can be thought of as similar to an HTML <p> tag.
