Note that there is an easy way to set plain text if you are using a writable model:

rta.clear();
rta.appendText(String text);

I've just found out that RichTextArea doesn't have a setText method, but CodeArea does.

Is this a mistake or was it done intentionally?

Best regards, Pavel

PS. Just don't think I spend my free time analyzing Javadoc. It's just that I once opened an issue in RTFX suggesting to add a setText method, and today, seeing this issue, I decided to mention that JavaFX RichTextArea has such
a method. However, I was surprised not to find it.
