A recent submission added TextDefaults.fromHtml() to parse HTML into an AnnotatedString.

When using the usage sample from that PR and rendering it in a Preview, the Preview fails to render.

@Preview
@Composable
private fun Preview() = MaterialTheme {
    val htmlString = "Text and <a href=https://google.com>developer.android.com</a> link"
    Text(TextDefaults.fromHtml(htmlString = htmlString))
}

The reason is that XMLReader cannot be instantiated.

This is the part of the stack trace not from my application:
