        This is a text area control. Because the text rendering is done by a
        RichEditableText subcontrol, you have to use the textDisplay property to
        set the values of some non-inheriting styles. Other non-inheriting
        styles are defined in the skin class and are passed through to the
        subcomponent. For inheriting styles, they are inherited by the
        RichEditableText subcontrol.
