JTextPane formatting [closed]

Also seen here, TextComponentDemo shows how to apply a number of StyleConstants, including font size, style, alignment and color. The styles may applied either directly to the Document, as shown in initAttributes(), or via the actions of StyledEditorKit, seen here.

Addendum: The example below creates three related styles using SimpleAttributeSet. Note that highAlert alters the color but retains the bold attribute inherited from boldBlue.
