public class TextFlow extends Pane
A specialized layout for rich text. It can be used to lay out several `Text` nodes in a single text flow. `TextFlow` uses the text and the font of each `Text` node inside of it, plus its own width and text alignment to determine the location for each child. A single `Text` node can span over several lines due to wrapping, and the visual location of the `Text` node can differ from the logical location due to bidi reordering.

Any `Node` other than `Text` will be treated as an embedded object in the text layout. It will be inserted in the content using its preferred width, height, and baseline offset.

When a `Text` node is inside a `TextFlow`, some of its properties are ignored. For example, the `x` and `y` properties of the `Text` node are ignored since the location of the node is determined by the parent. Likewise, the wrapping width in the `Text` node is ignored since the width used for wrapping is the `TextFlow`'s width. The value of the `pickOnBounds` property of a `Text` node is set to `false` when it is laid out by the `TextFlow`. This happens because the content of a single `Text` node can be split and placed in different locations in the `TextFlow` (usually due to line breaking and bidi reordering).

The wrapping width of the layout is determined by the region's current width. It can be specified by the application by setting the `TextFlow`'s preferred width. If no wrapping is desired, the application can either set the preferred with to `Double.MAX_VALUE` or `Region.USE_COMPUTED_SIZE`.

Paragraphs are separated by `'\n'` present in any `Text` child.

Example of a TextFlow:

         Text text1 = new Text("Big italic red text");
         text1.setFill(Color.RED);
         text1.setFont(Font.font("Helvetica", FontPosture.ITALIC, 40));
         Text text2 = new Text(" little bold blue text");
         text2.setFill(Color.BLUE);
         text2.setFont(Font.font("Helvetica", FontWeight.BOLD, 10));
         TextFlow textFlow = new TextFlow(text1, text2);

`TextFlow` lays out each managed child regardless of the child's visible property value; unmanaged children are ignored for all layout calculations.

`TextFlow` may be styled with backgrounds and borders using CSS. See its `Region` superclass for details.

## Resizable Range

A `TextFlow`'s parent will resize the `TextFlow` within the `TextFlow`'s range during layout. By default, the `TextFlow` computes this range based on its content as outlined in the tables below.

TextFlow Resize Table
| width | height
minimum | left/right insets | top/bottom insets plus the height of the text content
preferred | left/right insets plus the width of the text content | top/bottom insets plus the height of the text content
maximum | `Double.MAX_VALUE` | `Double.MAX_VALUE`

A `TextFlow`'s unbounded maximum width and height are an indication to the parent that it may be resized beyond its preferred size to fill whatever space is assigned to it.

`TextFlow` provides properties for setting the size range directly. These properties default to the sentinel value `Region.USE_COMPUTED_SIZE`, however the application may set them to other values as needed:

         textflow.setMaxWidth(500);

Applications may restore the computed values by setting these properties back to `Region.USE_COMPUTED_SIZE`.

`TextFlow` does not clip its content by default, so it is possible that children's bounds may extend outside of its own bounds if a child's preferred size is larger than the space the `TextFlow` has to allocate for it.

  - ### getBaselineOffset

    public final double getBaselineOffset()

  - ### getLayoutInfo

    public final LayoutInfo getLayoutInfo()
    Returns a copy of the of the text layout geometry for this node. This copy is a snapshot of the text layout at the time the method is called.

    While there is no general guarantee that successive invocations of this method return the same instance, it is safe to either cache this object or call this method each time, since the information obtained from this lightweight object remains valid until the next layout cycle.

    Returns:
      a copy of the layout information
