Chapter 22. Styled Text Panes
In this chapter we’ll discuss Swing’s most powerful text component,
JTextPane, as well as the Document model and the many classes and
interfaces that go along with it. All text components use the Document interface to interact with their
models. JTextPane uses the StyledDocument interface, an extension of the
Document interface with
style-manipulation methods.
This is a long chapter because there are so many classes and
interfaces used by Document and its
ilk. You may have no immediate need to learn about some of these classes,
especially those in the latter half of the chapter. Don’t feel that you
must read the chapter straight through.
