I was just wondering what version of the HTML syntax does Java 5, 6 and 7 support, I don’t seem to find any documentation online regarding this.

EDIT: Sorry, to clarify, I mean in rendering UI stuff through Swing, like JLabel text values etc.

    From HTMLEditorKit JavaDoc:

    The Swing JEditorPane text component supports different kinds of content via a
    plug-in mechanism called an EditorKit. Because HTML is a
    very popular format of content, some support is provided by default.
    The default support is provided by this class, which supports HTML
    version 3.2 (with some extensions), and is migrating toward version
    4.0.

    Notice the subtle suggestion at the bottom of the tutorial Swing HTML Tutorial:

    If you are programming in JavaFX, see HTML Editor.

    Also, they point out a bug:

    Note also that when a button is disabled, its HTML text unfortunately remains black,
    instead of becoming gray. (Refer to bug #4783068 to see if this situation changes.)

    Bottom line: HTML support is very basic and not very well implemented.
