Give JEditorPane an append(...) Method like JTextArea

Question

How can I use jEditorPane as jTextArea with the append method in the jTextarea ?

example :

jTextArea.append(mystring);

jEditorPane.?

Don't use an editor pane to insert text like you do with a JTextArea. A JEditorPane should be used to insert HTML. Check out the HTMLEditorKit for method to insert HTML. Instead use a JTextPane. You can use the insertString() method and you can specify attributes as you insert text into the Document. — camickr, Jun 23 '13 at 22:34

I would take a look at the Document, specifically, the Document#insertString method.

With this you could could do something like...

Document doc = editorPane.getDocument();
doc.insertString(doc.getLength(), "This is the string to insert", null);

I've tried it that way, but the html code does not work anymore.. what should I do ? – Arief Jun 23 '13 at 11:16
@Arief: Update your question to include this requirement; a related example is examined [here](http://stackoverflow.com/a/16447176/230513). – trashgod Jun 23 '13 at 11:21
You'll probably need to append the text within the content of the body of the HTML – MadProgrammer Jun 23 '13 at 12:11
