Question

            \" Has Higher A Market Value\\nThan \" + company2,
                \"Informa         


        

Answer 1

Use HTML

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "  Has Higher A Market Value ");

If your default font doesn't support it then you can specify it like

 String msg = "This is how to get:
italics and "
        + "
bold and "
        + "
underlined...
";
        JLabel label = new JLabel(msg);
        label.setFont(new Font("serif", Font.PLAIN, 14));
        JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, label);  

Output:
