HTMLEditorKit and line wrapping

If you feed some HTML to an HTMLEditorKit and then ask for the text back, HTMLEditorKit formats the text for you and, in particular, breaks it into smaller lines as it deems necessary. This can be very inconvenient, because you may end up with white space in unexpected places.
Does anybody know of a way to prevent HTMLEditorKit from line wrapping?
Here is a little program which demonstrates what I am talking about...
import java.io.StringReader;
import javax.swing.text.html.HTMLDocument;
import javax.swing.text.html.HTMLEditorKit;
public class LineWrap {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String text = "<html><body>This is some <b>HTML</b> text. It is all " +
            "on a single line, unless somebody takes the initiative to wrap " +
            "it into several lines.</body></html>";
        try {
            HTMLEditorKit kit = new HTMLEditorKit();
            HTMLDocument doc = (HTMLDocument) kit.createDefaultDocument();
            kit.read(new StringReader(text), doc, 0);
            kit.write(System.out, doc, 0, doc.getLength());
        } catch (Exception exc) {
            exc.printStackTrace();
}The output looks like this:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
    This is some <b>HTML</b> text. It is all on a single line, unless somebody
    takes the initiative to wrap it into several lines.
</body>
</html>

I have no idea about it, but does this help?

Yes it does! You can prevent line wrapping by subclassing HTMLWriter and overriding the method canGetWrapLines() so that it always returns false.
Thank you.

Multiple StringItems and line wrapping

Hello!
Why is it, that StringItems, that have to be line wrapped because of their length, cause the following StringItems to start at a new line after the preceding one, even if there is still enough room?
Tested with WTK 2.5.1 (Qwerty Device)
Here's an example:
* ExampleMidlet.java
* Created on 1. November 2007, 18:30
package hello;
import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
* @author rp
* @version
public class ExampleMidlet extends MIDlet {
public void startApp() {
StringItem s1,s2,s3;
Form form = new Form("Example");
s1 = new StringItem(null,"That's just an example for a very long line, which has probably to be wrapped and a ");
s1.setLayout(Item.LAYOUT_2);
form.append(s1);
s2 = new StringItem(null,"hyperlink");
s2.setLayout(Item.LAYOUT_2);
form.append(s2);
s3 = new StringItem(null,", which is followed by even more Text");
s3.setLayout(Item.LAYOUT_2);
form.append(s3);
Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(form);
public void pauseApp() {
public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional) {
Some real devices do this right, starting an item where the
preceding one stops. Unfortunately lot's of others don't (following
the WTK)
Please!
Do I really have to generate zillions of One-Word-StringItems in order to avoid ugly line wrapping ?
cheers, Roland

Please!
Do I really have to generate zillions of One-Word-StringItems in order to avoid ugly line wrapping ?How about just one StringItem containing the entire text? Or would that create other problems?I have text with hyperlinks in between. That's why I cannot put it in one single StringItem.
Device fragmentation. Nothing anyone can do about it.I don't think, device fragmentation is an argument here:
Why should there be a layout directive like Item.LAYOUT_NEWLINE_BEFORE/AFTER
if you shouldn't also have the possibility to have no line wrap at all?
Here's what the API says:
A row break occurs before an item if any of the following conditions occurs:
the previous item has a row break after it;
it has the LAYOUT_NEWLINE_BEFORE directive; or
it is a StringItem whose contents starts with "\n";
it is a ChoiceGroup, DateField, Gauge, or a TextField, and the LAYOUT_2 directive is not set; or
this Item has a LAYOUT_LEFT, LAYOUT_CENTER, or LAYOUT_RIGHT directive that differs from the Form's current alignment.
A row break occurs after an item if any of the following conditions occurs:
it is a StringItem whose contents ends with "\n"; or
it has the LAYOUT_NEWLINE_AFTER directive; or
it is a ChoiceGroup, DateField, Gauge, or a TextField, and the LAYOUT_2 directive is not set.
Neither there's a directive, that differs from the Form's current alignment, nor there's a newline in
the StringItem, etc.
So I guess,there shouldn't be a row break here.
Thanks, Roland

Read Only TextAreas with Carriage Return, Line Breaks and Word Wrapping

Hi all,
I know there are a few posts around this subject but I cannot find the answer to the exact problem I have.
I have a page that has a 'TextArea with Character Counter' (4000 Chars) that is conditionally read only based on the users credentials (using the 'Read Only' attributes of the TextArea item).
When the field is editable (not Read Only) everything works fine but when I make the field Read Only I start to have problems:
The first problem is that the Carriage Return and Line Breaks are ignored and the text becomes one continuos block. I have managed to fix this by adding pre and post element text of pre and /pre tags. This has made the Carriage Return and Line Breaks word nicely and dispaly correctly.
However, it has introduced a second problem. Long lines, with no Carriage Returns or Line Breaks, now extend to the far right of the page with no word wrapping, making my page potentially 4000+ characters wide.
How can I get the field to be display only, with recognised Carriage Returns and Line Breaks, and Word Wrapping inside a fixed width of, say, 150 characters?
Many thanks,
Martin

Hi,
Just a cut and paste of yours with the field name changed:
htp.p('<script>');
htp.p('$x("P3_COMMENTS").readonly=true;');
htp.p('</script>');I also have the following in the page HTML Header, could they be conflicting?
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
function setReleaseToProd(wpTypeCode){
//setReleaseToProd($v(this))
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$v('pFlowId'),'APPLICATION_PROCESS=set_release_to_prod',0);
get.addParam('x01',wpTypeCode);
gReturn = get.get();
if(gReturn) {
$s('P3_RELEASE_TO_PROD',gReturn);
get = null;
</script>I am a long way from knowing much about Javascript (this page code was written by someone else) so all help is much appreciated.

JtextPane with word wrapping chops up words and lines

Hi,
I have a JTextPane for use ina a chat type scenario, inside a JScrollPane. I use "insertString()" to put in user entered strings:
doc.insertString(doc.getLength(), s+"\n", doc.getStyle("regular"));
It works most of the time, but whena string is long it cuts up words and lines and I can't figure out why! I want the pane to wrap text like any normal text box, not chop up words and so on. Entering the string "i think some times the chat gets cut up funny and the words gets chopped" cuts up the word "funny" like so:
i think some times the chat gets cut up f
unny and the words gets chopped
Entering "i think some times the chat gets cut up funny and the words gets chopped up and it realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly sucks you know" produces:
i think some times the chat gets cut up f
unny and the words gets chopped up and it rea
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly sucks you k
now
Here it has cut up "funny", "realllllllllllllllllllllllly" and also for some reason "know" (even though there is plenty of space for the word "know" on the last line).
Please help!
PS. Using a JtextArea instead is not an option available to me. I am insert plain text, not HTML or rtf.
Thanks NC

PS. Using a JtextArea instead is not an option available to me. I am insert plain text, not HTML or rtf.If you are using "plain text" then it is an option.
If you are using styled text then you need to use a JTextPane. Here is some code I've used in the past. I've never notice any problems unless the word is wider than the width of the text pane in which case it will use character level wrapping instead of word level wrapping:

Line wrapping and scrolling in JPanel

Hello,
I've got an empty JPanel to which I want to add an (unknown) number of JLabels. Each JLabel has a text which is just one word. When my program is adding JLabels to the JPanel, I want it to have the same behaviour as a normal text editor: when a line is full, the next line gets filled (line wrapping).
If I just keep adding JLabels to a JPanel of a fixed size with .add(), there's no line wrapping. I tried it by giving the JPanel a fixed size, flowLayout and nesting it within a JScrollPane, but it keeps filling one long line, instead of jumping to the next one.
Any obvious solutions??
Thanks
Mark

well this depends on how your layout is build, you should post some code so we can see what your trying to do.
For example if your JPanel is the Frame's main panel, fixing a MaximumSize or PreferredSize wont have any effect, it will grow as big as you defined the JFrame size.
If you have only a JPanel with a max size of 200,300 in a JFrame with a size of 800,600, it will grow to 800,600.
You could create a BoxLayout with X axis, then insert an HorizontalStruts, insert your JPanel and another Horizontal Struts(Box.createHorizontalStrut(int width) ) to force the JPanel to be smaller than the JFrame.
I did not test this a lot, but it seams to work

Line wrapping and font styles?

Hi,
If I have a piece of text which I would like to see line wrapped, and font styled, how should I do that?
javax.swing.JTextArea has the capabilities to set line wrapping to on.
javax.swing.JTextPane has the capabilities to set font styles like bold, italic and so on.
But what if you have a piece of text you don't know the (possible) length of (so you would like to have line wrapping), AND to which you want to apply font styles to. JTextArea and JTextPane are siblings, not ancestors. So I can't use it. I have looked in the code to see if I could use pieces of code in my own program. But not luck.
Do you have a suggestion for me?
TIA,
Abel

How to prevent automatic line wrapping in a JEditorPane

I have added a JEditorPane inside a JScrollPane which is inturn is added inside a JPanel with a GridLayout.
While JEditorPane is loaded with an HTML page or a html file is read into it with an HTMLDocument the longer lines are geting wrapped automatically to the next line when the display area of the parent component of the JPanel where the original JScrollPane is held (like the JFrame or JSplitPane etc.)
It doesn't help even after seeing a preferredsize/maximumSize or minimumSize
of the JEditorPane (b'cos it defaults to some other size which i'ven't set at all).
The horizontal scrollbar apperas only the when the the JEditorPanes size is reduced lesser than its defult size which has been set (probably by the layout manager).
I want to get rid of this behaviour of the JEditorPane such that horizontal Scollbar should apper as soon as the user reduce the size of the window displaying the above component hierarchy (parent container->JScrollPane->JEditorPane) and no line wrapping occurs.
Note : 1. JEditorPane doesn'y have linewrapping API like JTextArea
2. Its default and automatic linewrapping behaviour is conforming
with word line wrapping where lines are broken at the end of a
word which can be fully accomodated.

Anchored objects and text wrap

HI, I have some large images that I want to anchor to the top of the page extending to the off sides to the spine. I've tried and tried with the 0 space paragraph, etc to get the text to wrap properly. It's usually just a fragment of the last sentence prior to the image that runs under the image (and there is no alert that it IS under there!
Using CS5.5
Thoughts?

The issue is that the images are always supposed to be hugging the top or bottom and outer margins. when the image is at the top or say is a 2 page spread aligning at the top margin how can I anchor it to a paragraph content? The big issue is when the line wrap only partially and there is no visual cue that something is wrong. I have tons of images in this multi doc ms that need to hang around the attending subject matter BUT with a majority of the images starting at the top margin, it is dangerous to anchor them becasue of the mis-wrap. Ha, I even thought I could put a non anchored empty text frame under the image. That fixes the flow under the icture issue - until the image moves.
Thoughts? Workarounds?

Problems with JTextPane line wrapping

Hi to all.
I'm using a code like this to make editable a figure that I paint with Java 2D. This JTextPane don't has a static size and for that, the text in it cannot be seen affected by the natural line wrap of the JTextPane component. The problem is that I have to set a maximun size for the JTextPane and I want to use the line wrap only when the width of the JTextPane be the maximun width. How can I do this?

I'm working hard about that and I can't find the perfect implementation of this. This is exactly what I want to do:
1. I have a Ellipse2D element painted into a JPanel.
2. This ellipse is painted like a circle.
3. Into the circle there's a text area, that user use to name the cicle.
4. The text area is a JTextPane.
5. When the user insert a text area, it can increase it size, but it can't be bigger than the circle that it contains.
6. There is a maximun and a minimun size for the circle.
7. When the user write into de JTextPane, it grows until arriving at the limit.
8. When the JTextPane has the width size limit, if the user writes more text into it, the JTextPane write it into another line.
9. The size of the JTextPane has to be the optimun size, it cannot have empty rows or empty lines.
This code does all this except 9, cause if the user remove some text of the text area, the form of the JTextPane changes to a incorrect size.

Center text in a text component with line wrapping

I need to display dynamic text in a text component. I need line wrapping (on work boundaries) and also need horizontal and vertical center alignment.
How do I do this? I saw a previous post on aligning text in a JTextArea that said to use a JTextPane but I don't see in JTextPane how to do word wrapping.
Thanks,
John

Line wrap in JTextPane

I didn't see a setLineWrap(boolean) method in JTextPane (as you can tell from my previous posts I'm having trouble going from a JTextArea to a text component that can format text). How would I force it to line wrap like a JTextArea would if you called
tp.setLineWrap(true);
tp.setWrapStyleWord(true); ?
I've set the JTextPane in a JScrollPane, so I'm worried it will not wrap.
thanks for the info.

I just finished some testing and it seems the the line wrapping is set to the way I wanted by default, ie by just like I had called the above methods on a JTextField
thanks

How to add new line wrapping rule?

Hi all,
I have a question about line wrapping condition of Java editor of JDeveloper.
JDev has some predefined rules for it and I can change them from preference.
But can I add a new rule?
I'd like to place conditional operators such as "&&" or "||" at head of line.
For example, as below.
if (values[0].length() > 2
&& values[1].length() == 3
|| values[2].length() < 10
&& values[3].length() == 0) {
JDev doesn't seem to have the predefined rule about conditional operators.
So I'd like to know if I can add new one.
My Jdeveloper is 11.1.1.6.0.
Thanks,
Atsushi

Atsushi,
I don't think you can add a new rule there.
However, how about setting Line Wrapping->Binary Operators and Assignments to Always? Your code would then look like
       if (values[0].length() >
            2 &&
            values [1].length() ==
            3 ||
            values [2].length() <
            10 &&
            values [3].length() ==
            0 ) {
        }-Arun

HTML lines wrap around in the HTML report output

I seem to have a problem with lines wrapping around in HTML format. If the report is ran using the report builder the output will fit in every line without wrapping the information.
While if I run the same report -- to present the info using a browser -- using JSP in HTML format, the same lines will wrap around the info in two lines.
Here is how I send this document to the server :
pwrmpos_n: report=pwrmpos.rep destype=cache desformat=html server=rep60_wforms2 %*
Any help will be appreciated

Hello Hernando,
I am a little confused, the command that you describe is only for paper layout...
Anyway, let's try to help you:
- on your paper layout you specified a width for each column (when you resize it in the Paper Design window). When you run the paper layout with HTML (ot HTMLCSS) as format the width is present in the <TD> tag.
- for the JSP, by default the HTML does not contains any size for the table and cell so the browser size the table to fit in the screen.
If you do not want any wrapping in the JSP just modify the HTML tags to specify a width, or wrap for the TD tag.
