Tsundzukani :
I'm trying to append text with HTML tags to text that is already in a JLabel and also has HTML tags
public class BattleConsoleUI {
private JLabel battleInfo = new JLabel("<html> Hello World <br></html>");
battleInfo.setText(battleInfo.getText() +
"<html> HERO NAME : " +
"<br> HERO CLASS : " +
"<br> HERO LEVEL : " +
"<br> XP : " +
"<br> ATTACK POINTS : " +
"<br> DEFENCE POINTS : " +
"<br> HIT POINTS : " +
"</html>");
}
I'm expecting it to display Hello World plus the appended text but the rest of the text is not displayed because of the first closing HTML tag
George Z. :
Quick solution is to avoid writing </html> at the end of the text. Swing needs only the opening tag <html> in order to show HTML text. Something like:
label.setText("<html>first text");
label.setText(label.getText() + " this is second"); //Still an HTML text
If you insist of closing the HTML tag and using </html> at the end, you will have to replace it before appending the new text:
label.setText(label.getText().replaceAll("</html>","") + "i append a text</html>");
Of course instead of replaceAll you could use substring and other things, but this is what i would use.
