JTextPane how to get text w/o the html markup
hi all, i am struggling with this, can someone help
if I have a
JTextPane, HTMLDocument, HTMLEditorKit
combination
and I have this for my html
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p style="margin-top: 0">
Dear <b>Customer</b>,Thanks
</body>
</html>
how can I call something like textPane.getText() and have it return
Dear Customer, Thanks
with no html markup
I am thinking it must be stored somewhere, or at least figured out because if I call
int p0 = editor.getSelectionStart();
and my cursor is after Dear, it returns 4, so getting the cursor
off the editor skipped over <html><head>... and returned
where my caret was as if I had no html markup.
I just want the text I am seeing on the screen
can someone point me how to do this
thanks

Works fine for me using JDK1.4.2 on XP.
If you need further help then you need to create a "Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)",
see http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html,
that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
Don't forget to use the "Code Formatting Tags",
see http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting,
so the posted code retains its original formatting.
