how to load html to styledocument

Question

I'm using a StyleDocument to display my content in a JTextPane. I searched for a while and saw that I can write with the HTMLEditorKit the document I get from the textpane to a file. But when I want to read this file with the HTMLEditorKit it doesn't parse in the right document. I get two different results:

I get the plain html code in my textpane
I get no content in my textpane

Saving:

Document doc = textpane.getStyledDocument();
HTMLEditorKit kit = new HTMLEditorKit();
kit.write(new FileOutputStream("path"), doc, 0, doc.getLength());

Loading (2 versions):

HTMLEditorKit kit = new HTMLEditorKit();
Document doc = null;
Document doc2 = kit.createDefaultDocument();

kit.read(new FileInputStream("path"), doc, 0);
kit.read(new FileInputStream("path"), doc2, 0);

textpane.setDocument(doc);
textpane.setDocument(doc2);

If you want to render arbitrary HTML in a Java app, it's probably a better idea to use a "real" HTML engine like WebKit. JavaFX includes a binding for it in WebView: http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/webview/jfxpub-webview.htm — millimoose, Mar 14 '13 at 19:39
Here's the story,.. I initially insert some formatted text (like bold for headlines etc.) - now the user can add some more text, then I want to save this text WITH the format.. I don't want to display a html-file or something like that — Christian 'fuzi' Orgler, Mar 15 '13 at 09:43
did you check the saved file after it is written to it. open with a browser and see if it shows up correctly. also you might want to use inputstreamreader for encoding. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/i18n/text/stream.html — btevfik, Mar 19 '13 at 08:06

When you initialize your JTextPane add the following line: textpane.setContentType("text/html");

Change Saving to look like this:

Document document = textpane.getStyledDocument();
EditorKit kit = textpane.getEditorKit();
kit.write(new FileOutputStream(new File("path")), doc, 0, doc.getLength());

Change Loading to look like this:

EditorKit kit = pane2.getEditorKit();
Document doc = kit.createDefaultDocument();
kit.read(new FileInputStream(new File("path")), doc, 0);
textpane.setDocument(doc);

Using this setup in my test environment I was able to set the text in a JTextPane to some html, get the html from the pane, write it to a file and subsequently read it back from that same file. I didn't see any reason to use a HTMLEditorKit as you are not doing anything html specific however you can change that as you see fit.

You need to set the content type of the JTextPane to "text/html" JEditorPane API. This should display the html correctly then.

I guess that you don't want to change the code written to save. So let it to be as it is.
You need to change the LOADING code as follows:

HTMLEditorKit kit = new HTMLEditorKit();
StyledDocument doc2 = (StyledDocument)kit.createDefaultDocument();
kit.read(new FileInputStream(file), doc2, 0);
pane = new JTextPane();
pane.setEditorKit(kit);//set EditorKit of JTextPane as kit.
pane.setDocument(doc2);

For example consider the code Demo given below:

import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
import javax.swing.text.html.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;

public class HTMLKit extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
     public static final String text = "As told by Wikipedia\n"

    + "dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers write once, run anywhere (WORA), "
    + "meaning that code that runs on one platform does not need to be recompiled to run on another. "
    + "Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode (class file) that can run on any Java virtual "
    + "machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture. Java is, as of 2012, one of the most popular programming "
    + "languages in use, particularly for client-server web applications, with a reported 10 million users.";

You can display your html in a JEditorPane like this:

    private void AboutGame()
    {
        JEditorPane Log = CreateEditorPane("AboutGame.html");

        JScrollPane LogScrollPanel = new JScrollPane(Log);
        LogScrollPanel.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy
                            (JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
        LogScrollPanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(800, 400));
        LogScrollPanel.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(10, 10));

        Object Message = LogScrollPanel;

        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, 
                                          Message, "About Game", 1);
    }
