How do we changeline in a label?
I have a label and when setting the text I want to change line . For instance String str="first line \n Secondline "; JLabel label.setText(str); I tried the above code but it does not work..How do I change line in a string ? Swing does not uses classical line breaks. Instead, for a reason I never fully understood, it uses HTML 3.2 . As a consequence, to have your text correctly displayed, yopu have to rely upon HTML content : String str= "<html>First line<br>Second line</html>" However, if you really want to, there are other possibilities ... Use this string String str= "<html>First line<br
