JEditorPane doesn�t display HTML special char. codes

Question

My application is using JEditorPane to display text/html.
The problem comes when I try to display HTML special character codes such as
> JEditorPane ignores those codes and displays nothing.
Do I have to convert all those strings representing special characters?
How could I solve it?
Thanks in advance,
Bruno

Here's my solution - I replace the HTMLEditorKit if it's not the first pass through. I found that the EditorKit is an instance of HTMLEditorKit for every pass except the first (which doesn't have a problem).
EditorKit ek = displayJEditorPane.getEditorKit();
if( ek instanceof HTMLEditorKit ) {
     // Needs to be replaced
     HTMLEditorKit htmlEditorKit = new HTMLEditorKit();
     displayJEditorPane.setEditorKit( htmlEditorKit );
// Display the HTML document
displayJEditorPane.setPage( resultURL );I'll spread my Duke Dollars around to everyone who offered a suggestion later today if I don't hear of a better solution.
Thanks.
