/*! \class WText Wt/WText Wt/WText
 *  \brief A widget that renders (XHTML) text.
 *
 * The text is provided through a WString, which may either hold a
 * literal text, or a key to localized text which is looked up in
 * locale dependent XML files (see WString::tr()).
 *
 * Use setTextFormat() to configure the textFormat of the text. The
 * default textFormat is Wt::XHTMLText, which allows XHMTL markup to
 * be included in the text. Tags and attributes that indicate "active"
 * content are not allowed and stripped out, to avoid security risks
 * exposed by JavaScript such as the common web-based <a
 * href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_site_scriptingCross-Site">
 * Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)</a> malicious attack. XSS is the
 * situation where one user of your web application is able to execute
 * a script in another user's browser while your application only
 * intended to display a message entered by the mailicious user to the
 * other user. To defeat this attack, %Wt assumes that content in a
 * %WText is intended to be passive, and not contain any scripting
 * elements.
 *
 * The Wt::PlainText format will display the text literally
 * (escaping any HTML special characters).
 *
 * In some situations, Wt::XHTMLUnsafeText may be useful to explicitly
 * allow scripting content. Like XHTMLText, it allows XHTML markup,
 * but it also allows potentially dangerous tags and attributes. Use
 * this if you're sure that a user cannot interfere with the text set,
 * and XHTMLText is too limiting.
 *
 * %WText is by default \link WWidget::setInline()
 * inline\endlink, unless the XHTML contents starts with an
 * element such as <tt>&lt;div&gt;</tt>, <tt>&lt;h&gt;</tt> or
 * <tt>&lt;p&gt;</tt> that is displayed as a block, in which case the
 * widget will also display as a block.
 *
 * \if cpp
 * Usage examples:
 * \code
 * Wt::WContainerWidget *container = new Wt::WContainerWidget();
 *
 * // display an XHTML text:
 * container->addWidget(new Wt::WText("Hello <i>dear</i> visitor."));
 *
 * // display a plain text:
 * container->addWidget(new Wt::WText("The <i> tag displays italic text.", Wt::PlainText));
 *
 * // display an XHTML fragment from a resource bundle:
 * container->addWidget(new Wt::WText(tr("introduction")));
 * \endcode
 * \endif
 *
 * <h3>CSS</h3>
 *
 * The widget corresponds to an HTML <tt>&lt;span&gt;</tt> tag or an
 * HTML <tt>&lt;div&gt;</tt> depending on whether the widget is inline.
 *
 * This widget does not provide styling, 
 * and can be styled using inline or external CSS as appropriate.
 *
 * \sa WApplication::setLocale()
