## Class BasicHTML

- java.lang.Object
- - javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicHTML

-     public class BasicHTML
      extends Object

  Support for providing html views for the swing components. This translates a simple html string to a javax.swing.text.View implementation that can render the html and provide the necessary layout semantics.
  Since:
    1.3

    - #### propertyKey

          public static final String propertyKey

      Key to use for the html renderer when stored as a client property of a JComponent.

        Constant Field Values

    - #### documentBaseKey

          public static final String documentBaseKey

      Key stored as a client property to indicate the base that relative references are resolved against. For example, lets say you keep your images in the directory resources relative to the code path, you would use the following the set the base:

             jComponent.putClientProperty(documentBaseKey,
                                          xxx.class.getResource("resources/"));

    - #### createHTMLView

          public static View createHTMLView​(JComponent c,
                                            String html)

      Create an html renderer for the given component and string of html.
      Parameters:
        `c` - a component
        `html` - an HTML string
      Returns:
        an HTML renderer

    - #### getHTMLBaseline

          public static int getHTMLBaseline​(View view,
                                            int w,
                                            int h)

      Returns the baseline for the html renderer.
      Parameters:
        `view` - the View to get the baseline for
        `w` - the width to get the baseline for
        `h` - the height to get the baseline for
      Returns:
        baseline or a value < 0 indicating there is no reasonable baseline
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if width or height is < 0
      Since:
        1.6
      See Also:
        `FontMetrics`, `JComponent.getBaseline(int,int)`

    - #### isHTMLString

          public static boolean isHTMLString​(String s)

      Check the given string to see if it should trigger the html rendering logic in a non-text component that supports html rendering.
      Parameters:
        `s` - a text
      Returns:
        `true` if the given string should trigger the html rendering logic in a non-text component

    - #### updateRenderer

          public static void updateRenderer​(JComponent c,
                                            String text)

      Stash the HTML render for the given text into the client properties of the given JComponent. If the given text is NOT HTML the property will be cleared of any renderer.

      This method is useful for ComponentUI implementations that are static (i.e. shared) and get their state entirely from the JComponent.

      Parameters:
        `c` - a component
        `text` - a text
