Java swing: Multiline labels?
java, jlabel, multiline, string, swing
Solution
You can use `HTML` in `JLabels`. To use it, your text has to start with `<html>`.
Set your text to `"<html>This is<br>a multi-line string"` and it should work.
See Swing Tutorial: JLabel and Multiline label (HTML) for more information.
Problem
Possible Duplicate: Multiline text in JLabel I want to do this: ``` JLabel myLabel = new JLabel(); myLabel.setText("This is\na multi-line string"); ``` Currently this results in a label that displays ``` This isa multi-line string ``` I want it to do this instead: ``` This is a multi-line string ``` Any suggestions? Thank you EDIT: Implemented solution In body of method: ``` myLabel.setText(convertToMultiline("This is\na multi-line string")); ``` Helper method: ``` public static String convertToMultiline(String orig) { return "<html>" + orig.replaceAll("\n", "<br>"); } ```
