In Swing, it was trivially easy to style a JLabel using HTML - you simply used the HTML you wanted as the text for the label, and it was rendered appropriately.
In JavaFX this isn't available, but we can set the style of a particular label (or node in general) using the setStyle() method.
However, using this approach it's not obvious how to set part of a label to be a certain style, for instance the equivalent of:
JLabel label = new JLabel("<html>Part of this <b>text is b</b>old and part isn't.</html>");
What would be the easiest way to achieve something like the above?

The package javafx. css contains the classes that are used to apply CSS for JavaFX applications. A CSS comprises of style rules that are interpreted by the browser and then applied to the corresponding elements in your document. Selector − A selector is an HTML tag at which a style will be applied.
A Text is a geometric shape (like a Rectangle or a Circle), while Label is a UI control (like a Button or a CheckBox). In Swing, geometric shapes were restricted to the painting mechanism, while in JavaFX they can be used in more generic ways. And you can use a Text clipping, giving the node shape by the text.
You can change the text of a label using its setText() method. This can be done while the application is running. Here is an example of setting the text of a JavaFX Label: label.
You can try using TextFlow to combine different styled text nodes like
TextFlow textFlow = new TextFlow();
Text first=new Text("Part of this ");
first.setStyle("-fx-font-weight: regular");
Text second=new Text("text is b");
second.setStyle("-fx-font-weight: bold");
Text third=new Text("old and part isn't.");
third.setStyle("-fx-font-weight: regular");
textFlow.getChildren().addAll(first, second, third);
