changing font size in jlabel via html

rekenaar · Apr 12, 2006

Hi

I need to change the size of fonts at different places in a jlabel, thus I want to use html in the text of the jlabelto change it.

Is this possible? Because normal <font>-tag doesn't seem to work.

I'm using 1.4.2

Thank you for your time.

I don't know where to get detailled information, which tags work, and which won't, but <h1>, <h2>, ... works - does that help?

Try putting <html> at the beginning of the text, like this:

Code:

label.setText("<html><font size=2>your text");

Closing tags don't seem to be necessary unless you're switching to another font within the same label.

HTML text in a JLabel? Am I missing something, since I didn't think this was possible? With a JTextPane this is possible though.
