Question

displaying links in java's JTextPane without html

Answer 1

+2 A:

i'm not sure how to go about replacing newline characters with "<br/>". Is there an easy wat to do that?

You can do that with Java regex:

    String raw = "...";
    Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\n");
    String html = "<HTML>" + p.matcher(raw).replaceAll("<BR>") + "</HTML>" ;

I have taken the liberty of adding your HTML wrapper in for you.

edit:

For the fun of it, I've taken Oscar's point and took a stab:

    Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\\[([^\\]]*)\\]");
    raw = p.matcher(raw).replaceAll("<a href=\"$1\">$1</a>");

+1 @Victor: This is correct. Processing the hyperlinks should very similar: substitute [] with <a href= etc etc . You have to process the input anyway!
