HTML Tags in JTextPanel/JFrame

[pclip123]

I have the following method declared..

public void display() {
          Set finalStringSet = mapFinal.keySet();
          JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane(); // creates an empty text pane
          textPane.setContentType("text/html"); // lets Java know it will be HTML                  
          textPane.setText(<span style="font-size: 20pt">Big</span>); // sets its text
          JFrame frame = new JFrame(); // makes a window to put it in
          frame.getContentPane().add(textPane); // adds the text pane to the window
          frame.pack(); // adjusts the window to the right size
          frame.setVisible(true); // makes it show up
   }

I am having trouble with the line that reads:

textPane.setText(<span style="font-size: 20pt">Big</span>);

I just want to print out the string "big" with that increased font size, yet everytime i try to compile i get the error "> expected".. Can someone PLEASE help me?

The method expects a String like that:

setText ("<span style=\\"font-size: 20pt\\">Big</span>");

setText (<span style="font...

looks like the Syntax used for Generics - but not really.
