I have a txt file that contains data for a dictionary project, and the file is formatted as below:

@acute /ei, ə/
* noun
- a mark that means excellent, given to something of the highest quality, esp. school work:
= The teacher gave me an A for my essay.+ Cô giáo cho tôi điểm A cho bài luận. 
- the first letter of the English alphabet
* preposition
- in or for each or every; per:
= Take one tablet three times a day.+ Uống thuốc 3 lần một ngày

Basically, a word starts with an @, its types start with *, its meanings start with - and examples start with =, Vietnamese translation of examples start with +

I want to display this content in a JTextPane in Java Swing, in the following format but do not know how to start.

Can someone give me advice on how to do it?

    Can you write that as HTML? A `JTextPane` (or `JEditorPane`) supports (simple) HTML formatting. – Andrew Thompson Oct 23 '21 at 06:41
  • Looks like you'll need to use a Markdown to HTML converter, this will require you to do some googling to find a suitable library – MadProgrammer Oct 23 '21 at 06:53
  • `JTextPane` also supports _Rich Text Format_ (RTF). For converting plain text to RTF, refer to [Java 8: how to convert plain UTF-8 text into RTF (with symbols > 127)?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63549122/java-8-how-to-convert-plain-utf-8-text-into-rtf-with-symbols-127) and for using RTF in `JTextPane` refer to [load RTF into JTextPane](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29524208/load-rtf-into-jtextpane) – Abra Oct 23 '21 at 06:54
  • your text has to be placed into a styleddocument object wrapper first https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6068398/how-to-add-text-different-color-on-jtextpane nb you may need to call repaint() on your textpane component from time to time and call a useless abstract call to setColor method to cause the java.awt to load to another color in the code also. (long time since i've done that one). – Samuel Marchant Oct 23 '21 at 11:03
