jtextarea and html

Hi,
Is it possible for me to setup up jtextarea such that
it renders html.
Suppose I create a but "interpret html" which when clicked
goes through the text in jtextarea and
adds styles
for example if I have something like
<b>bold text here</b>

then this should be bold. Furthermore, it should hide these html
tags but not delete them, that way when i save the text, i save the html
tags as well.

thanks for any advice

Short answer no. Long answer Nope.

If you subclassed JTextArea, you could add
the functionality, but that would not be a
JTextArea anymore.

OTOH - JTextPanes and JEditorPanes
_do_ style text, you would be better off
investigating them.

I have the same problem, I want to display HTML formating text. I tried
JTextPane and JEditorPane myself. I placed them in a JFrame with
BorderLayout in the EAST side. But it seems that every time I try to
resize the window, the JTextPane or the JEditorPane cover all the JFrame
area. JTextArea works as expected. What is the problem?

Do you have anything else in that JFrame? If you dont then it behaves as
expected:
the component consumes all the space left.
