st-annotated-text
A simple component to display annotated text in Streamlit apps.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you're building a Streamlit app that needs to display annotated or labeled text. Low install friction, no security issues, and permissive license make it straightforward. Dormant maintenance is not a blocker for a stable, single-purpose component; verify color customization and rendering work with your Streamlit version.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Designed for use within Streamlit applications; requires Streamlit to be installed separately.
- Low friction: pure Python wheel with a single runtime dependency (htbuilder).
- Dormant maintenance status—last commit January 2025—but stable and suitable for a single-purpose component.

What it is and what it does
st-annotated-text is a Streamlit component that renders text with inline annotations—labels, highlights, or custom styling applied to specific words or phrases. It wraps htbuilder to generate HTML markup and integrates into Streamlit apps via the annotated_text() function.
You pass the function a mix of plain strings and tuples; each tuple contains text to annotate plus a label, and optionally CSS color strings for background and foreground. The component renders the result as styled HTML in your UI. It's designed for scenarios where you need to highlight and label portions of text inline without building custom HTML yourself.
Use it for
- Display named entity recognition results with entity type labels on extracted text
- Highlight parts of speech or grammatical annotations in linguistic analysis tools
- Show sentiment or topic labels on text passages in data exploration dashboards
- Visualize text classification predictions with category labels
