How to use html tags in JTextArea

Question

When I try to change color of a JTextArea using

textArea.setText(\"  Hi \")

<

Answer 1

• don't to use JTextArea for Html formatted Object (even is possible, but why bothering)

• use JTextPane / JEditorPane instead (setContentType("text/html"))

• notice, todays Java and methods implemented in Official API by Oracle supporting only reduced Html syntax with css <= Html 3.2

• use JavaFX in the case that you want/need to use todays Html5,
