Which swing component can accept formatting with html tags?

Question

Java

I need to output a large block of text read from an html file.
I originally wanted to use a JTextArea with a scroller, but it outputs unformatted text. What can be used instead or "customize" the JTextArea somehow?

Answer 1

I was able to find a solution myself: you need to use JEditorPane or its subclass JTextPane and specify ExamplePaneElement.setContentType("text/html");
