I am working on Java 7. I am trying to format text by using HTML tags. I pass in text into 

JTextField text = new JTextField();
text.setText("<html><body><p>The program performs encryption operations on the following ciphers: </p></body></html>");

But the program prints the HTML tags too. That sample of text is only an example.
What might be the problem?
Cheers

    JTextField does not support HTML. You could use JTextPane instead:

    JTextPane text = new JTextPane();
text.setContentType("text/html");
text.setText("<html><body><p>The program performs encryption operations on the following ciphers: </p></body></html>");
