Inserting a span tag in JEditorpane

[Gerrit Hulleman]

Is it possible ot insert a span tag in the editorpane?

Using the code:
HTMLDocument doc = (HTMLDocument) htmledit.getEditor().getDocument();
HTMLEditorKit kit = (HTMLEditorKit) htmledit.getEditor().getEditorKit();
int start = htmledit.getEditor().getSelectionStart();
int end = htmledit.getEditor().getSelectionEnd();

The following does not work:
kit.insertHTML(doc, start, "<span
class=\""+fontfamily+"\">"+htmledit.getEditor().getSelectedText()+"</span>",
0, 0, HTML.Tag.DIV);
--> does not add a thing, does work for a div tag
kit.insertHTML(doc, start, "<span></span>", 0, 0, HTML.Tag.SPAN);
--> add only a </span>, does work for a div tag
doc.insertString(start, "<span
class=\""+fontfamily+"\">"+htmledit.getEditor().getSelectedText()+"</span>",
null); (thought it was worth a try)
--> offcourse, adds this as text (with replacements: "<" => "&lt;")
or
ByteArrayOutputStream buffer = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
kit.write(buffer, doc, 0, start);
String newtext = buffer.toString();
System.out.println(newtext);
........
--> this code copies the text till the start of the selection, but
adds closing tags ( >< )

Is it at all possible to insert span tags? Perhaps it is possible to add
tags usingthe kit.insertHTML without telling it what kind of tag it is...

Did you mean to have HTML.Tag.DIV at the end? You're supposed to
include the outer tag there, such as HTML.Tag.SPAN. Perhaps you posted
the wrong code by accident.

In any case, the far easier way to accomplish this is to work directly
with the HTMLDocument, by saying:

MutableArributeSet attr = new SimpleAttributeSet();
attr.addAttribute(HTML.Attribute.CLASS, "...");
MutableAttributeSet outerAttr = new SimpleAttributeSet();
outerAttr.addAttribute(HTML.Tag.SPAN, attr);
doc.setCharacterAttributes(start, end - start, outerAttr, true);

Was able to insert the span tag. The tag can be inserted in the beta2 1.5
jdk using the following code:
InsertHTMLTextAction action = new InsertHTMLTextAction("InsertHTML",
"<span
class='."+fontfamily+"'>"+htmledit.getEditor().getSelectedText()+"</span>",
HTML.Tag.P, HTML.Tag.SPAN, null, null );
action.actionPerformed(ae);

Oh happy days!
