Basically, I have a JTextPane to hold some text which I wish to style. JTextArea would have been better for me to use but I'm told you cannot style the text in these?
However, the JTextPane doesn't seem to style properly. For example, the following code is just returned with the HTML included:
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame j = new JFrame("Hello!");
j.setSize(200,200);
JTextPane k = new JTextPane();
k.setText("<html><strong>Hey!</strong></html>");
j.add(k);
j.setVisible(true);
}
I want to be able to just style some text in a JTextPane when a user interacts with the interface, but so far, it just returns the string with the HTML still in! Help!

JTextComponent, with JTextPane coming as a subclass of JEditorPane. From this, it is safe to conclude that JTextPane is a specialized form of JEditorPane which comes with some extra functionality. JTextArea comes with specific functions; one of these prevents it from wrapping text whenever the text is put in.
A JTextArea is a multi-line area that displays plain text. It is intended to be a lightweight component that provides source compatibility with the java. awt. TextArea class where it can reasonably do so.
By default, JTextField and JTextArea are editable; you can type and edit in both text components. They can be changed to output-only areas by calling setEditable(false) .
A JTextPane is a subclass of JEditorPane. A JTextPane is used for a styled document with embedded images and components. A JTextPane is a text component that can be marked up with the attributes that are represented graphically and it can use a DefaultStyledDocument as the default model.
If you want to diplaying Html contents in the JTextPane then you have to set for JTextPane#setContentType("text/html");, example here
EDIT:
for JEditorPanes / JTextPanes is there another way by implements StyledDocument, MutableAttributeSet and with customized Highlighter, example here
a.m. way is without using Html syntax
