Processing dynamic text

Wicketeers,

If I have a Label that contains some text I want to process, what is  
the best way to do that?

   - Should I even be using a label?

   - Should I override Label's onComponentTag or something?

   - Is there a better way?


The key is that I don't know the content in advance, so there is no  
way to add markup to my html.

Is this beyond the scope of Wicket, or is there something in there  
that I've overlooked?

(Concrete example below.)


Thanks!
=David

***************
Example:

I have the text: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy brown dog."

I don't know the content of the text in advance, but I DO know that I  
want to decorate all the nouns. The meaning of "decorate" can change  
over time (maybe some CSS, maybe some js, like a popup).

So I need to produce:

   The quick brown ##fox## jumps over the lazy brown ##dog##.

A very simple solution to my own problem: repeaters!

Man, Wicket rocks!
