04/12/2018, 2:26 PMGrant is right. You need different Label/Text to format them differently.

04/12/2018, 2:27 PMYou can also use a FlowPane and add Labels to it

04/12/2018, 2:35 PM@abhinay You mean, "don't use a table" or "put a FlowPane in the cell"?

04/12/2018, 6:49 PM@kastork If you meant using a WebView for each Cell, I wouldn't go down that path.

04/12/2018, 7:06 PM... then you could style the text by making it markup

04/12/2018, 7:12 PMsure, you can. although, I am skeptic if its the right idea to show multiple webviews in a single TableView. Can turn out be a huge bottleneck.
This can be easily taken care by a custom cell with a TextFlow/FlowPane. If you have a MCVE, I can most probably wire it with a custom TextFlow for you.

04/12/2018, 7:20 PMI appreciate the offer. But I'd rather work it out myself so I learn it. I appreciate the pointer on where to start.
