Try this,

		Grid grid = new Grid();
		grid.setWidth("100%");
		grid.setParent( yourParent );

                // Columns container
		Columns columns = new Columns();
		columns.setSizable(true);
		columns.setParent(grid);

                // Column
		Column column1 = new Column();
		column1.setWidth("300px");
		column1.setLabel("Subject");
		column1.setStyle("text-align:right; color:blue;" );
		column1.setParent(columns);
		Column column2 = new Column();
		column2.setWidth("200px");
		column2.setLabel("value");
		column2.setStyle("text-align:center; color:red;" );
		column2.setParent(columns);

                // Rows container
		Rows rows = new Rows();
		rows.setParent(grid);

                // Row
		Row row = new Row();

		Label label_TableName = new Label("Is there anybody out there ?");
		label_TableName.setStyle("text-align:left; color:maroon; font-weight:bold" );
		label_TableName.setParent(row);

		Label label_RecordCount = new Label("hello her i am");
		label_RecordCount.setStyle("text-align:left; color:green; font-weight:bold" );
		label_RecordCount.setParent(row);
		row.setParent(rows);

Hi, Stephan. Thanks for your answer.
Here's what I've got and what I want to get: the text is taken from the database, it is formatted somehow (e.g. here's a text). The text should be passed to zk grid (grid, list, tree, whatever) in such a way that the user will see "here's a text", and "a text" will be red.
I wonder, why the guys from Potix decided to escape html characters by default. From my point of view it's much easier and more convenient not to have the characters being encoded all the time but leave it to the programmer to decide whether to do it or not. It could also be a good solution to have some method like setEscapeHtml(boolean) in order to switch the conversion on or off.
