A simple html editor for java
I am a big Java fan, but sometimes I can get a bit frustrated.
I need a simple html editor for my application. Should something like this be in swing ?
Yesterday I tried to use the HtmlEditorKit. It works for most things, but to let it work in the real world, you need a lot of extra code.
Drag and drop from Ms Word doesn't work out of the box.
It took me some time to figure out that you need to add this:
HTMLDocument doc = (HTMLDocument)textPane.getDocument();
doc.putProperty("IgnoreCharsetDirective", Boolean.TRUE);
doc.setPreservesUnknownTags(false);
Next, you need to define all the needed actions like :
align, lists, font selection, paragraph type, image and links...
I will need another full day to add these. ( and I lost already a lot of time yesterday ).
