Reading HTML Directly

• in is the stream from which the HTML will be read.

• document should be an instance of javax.swing.text.html.HTMLDocument. (You can use another type, but if you do the JEditorPane will treat the stream as plain text rather than HTML.)

• Although you could use the HTMLDocument() noargs constructor to create the HTMLDocument object, the document it creates is missing a lot of style details.

• Instead let a javax.swing.text.html.HTMLEditorKit create the document for you.

• You get an HTMLEditorKit by passing the MIME type you want to edit (text/html in this case) to the JEditorPane getEditorKitForContentType() method like this:

  EditorKit htmlKit = jep.getEditorKitForContentType("text/html");

• Finally, before reading from the stream you have to use the JEditorPane's setEditorKit() method to install a javax.swing.text.html.HTMLEditorKit. For example,

  jep.setEditorKit(htmlKit);
