StyledHtml

A WYSIWYG SWT editor component for standard HTML content. Implemented as a subclass of the standard StyledText component.

Features

  • Lightweight, particularly as compared to full browser-based HTML editor implementations.
  • Utilizes an Antlr-based HTML parser for fast conversion of HTML content to rich presentation.
  • Capable of supporting reasonable implementation of a WYSIWYG HTML encoded text area, particularly when coupled with CssQuery and SwtSpell.

Development State

Currently in use as the main editing component for JDocEditor. Handles a fairly wide range of HTML.

Use

For presentation, just use the standard StyledText attributes.

StyledHtml#setHtml used to insert text. The given text will be treated as parseable HTML if the given text starts with "<!--", "<html>", or "<body>". If not, the given text is treated as plain text and wrapped in <body> tags to create parseable content. Regardless, any embedded, properly formed HTML tags will be parsed for presentation.

StyledHtml#getHtml used to get the full HTML content of the held by the control.

StyledHtml#setText same as StyledHtml#setHtml.

StyledHtml#getText used to retrieve the plain text equivalent of the content held by the control. All HTML tags will be ommitted.

StyledHtmlMain a standalone SWT test program is included in the jar.
