How to use onmouseover in StyledDocumend assosiated with a JTextPane

Question

I want to highlight different sections of text when mouse is hovered over them. I'm currently using styleddocument with jTextPane. Can somebody please help me in defining style so that individual strings/paragraphs can be highlighted when mouseover occurs?

Thanks,

could be interesting question, but based on your SSCCE or MCVE or MCTaRE — mKorbel, Feb 09 '14 at 20:05

You can define a custom highlighter to show necessary colors. Add a MouseListener to the jTextPane. You can get mouse coordinates and use viewToModel() method of jTextPane to detect offset in the Document and process whether current section should be highlighted or not.
