Using Java Swing, I am creating a simple .rtf file editor application using RTFEditorKit(). I am using JTextPane. I have added code for Bold, Italics, Underline text.
My problem scenario: I have two lines of text, first line of text is full of Bold style and second line of text is full of Italics style. While copying some text from first line (which is Bold) to second line, after pasting the Bold text to second line it is displaying in Italics style.
Expected scenario: It should be in Bold style after pasting, it should preserve the style. How can I achieve this in Java Swing? can anyone help? Thanks.
Here is some old code I found years ago on a forum.
It copies individual attributes with the text.
No idea if it works with the RTFEditorKit:
