Implementing bullet list in JTextPane

Question

I found an example here:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=4&thread=162662
.. which describes how to create a TextAction for implementing bullet lists with a HTMLEditorKit.
The problem is that I use StyledEditorKit.
Anyone know how to implement a "StyledEditorKit.BulletAction" ?

It amazes me though that this is something that has to be done from scratch ...
Me too!
But it's not too bad, this is how I did it:
1) Add a unicode prefix to represent the bullet:
     if (type.startsWith("CIRCLE"))     liType="\u25CB";
     else if (type.startsWith("DISC"))     liType="\u25CF";
     else if (type.startsWith("SQUARE")) liType="\u25A0";
     doc.insertString(doc.getLength(),liType+" "+liText,null);2) use the FontMetrics to set the outdent:
     FontMetrics     fontmetrics=getFontMetrics(font);
     FLOAT=fontmetrics.stringWidth(doc.getText(start,2));
     StyleConstants.setLeftIndent(aset,50f*listLevel-(listLevel-1)*FLOAT);
     StyleConstants.setFirstLineIndent(aset,-FLOAT);You can see the end-product [url http://home.comcast.net/~viravan/f7.htm]here
