This class represents a RTF object in List & Label.

Multiple formattings within a line can be done with this object contrary to the regular text object. So when to use the formatted text object and when to use the regular one? You should, if possible, prefer the regular text object as it contains less information and is therefore considerably faster to print. This also applies to formatted text within tables.

Therefore use the formatted text object when formattings have to be done that can't be realized with the regular text object at all or only with at lot of work.
