public class HTMLHelper
extends Object

A set of helper methods for generating HTML segments that are commonly used. Whether you use GWT, JSF or any other GUI framework, there is no getting away from HTML coding (I guess that is why GWT also provides a HTML widget). This class contains method that help you generate commly-used HTML segments. For example you can use:

  String important = HTMLHelper.bold ("Important!"); 
  
  instead of
  
  String important = "<b> + "Important" + "</b>";
