How to use HTML in JTable custom renderer

When using HTML in my JTable cells it will be displayed as

  <html><b>Example</html></b>

and not with the proper html styles. I read that default renderers work with html text. How do i change my custom renderer to display HTML correctly ?

My Jtable:

tab_months = new JTable(tabmod_months) {        
    @Override public Component prepareRenderer(TableCellRenderer renderer,
            int row,
            int col){
        Component c = super.prepareRenderer(renderer, row, col);
        int selCol = tab_months.getSelectedColumn();
        int selRow = tab_months.getSelectedRow();
        if ( selCol != -1 && selRow != -1 ){
            if (row == selRow){
                c.setBackground(new Color(163,198,255));
            } else {
                c.setBackground(new Color(255,240,245));    
            }               
        }

        if (row>=0 && row<listOpenmonths.size()+1) {
            setToolTipText(listOpenmonths.get(row).getmonthsString());
        }   

        return c;
    }
};
Solution

  • Found the problem: my html tag was inside of the string and it wasn't recognized...changed the string format and it worked. Thank you !
