How to use html tags in JTextArea

When I try to change color of a JTextArea using

textArea.setText("<html> <font color=\"red\"> Hi </font></html>")

, the text is shown is basically the whole text written inside setText method. But similar things work for JLabel, JButton etc.

How can I do that for a JTextArea also?

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,

JavaFX WebView is very powerful for rendering HTML and You can easily display javafx component(WebView) in your Swing Application by using JFXPanel. For tutorial of embedding fx in swing here is one from oracle: http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/swing/swing-fx-interoperability.htm

Thanks
