Summer's here and I want to start on a small project to not lose coding skills :ninja: (and have something to do while not at the beach/gaming), an IRC client for myself. I want to code it in Java as it's the language other than PHP I'm most comfortable with, but here's the thing.

I have experience parsing incoming server data, so that's not a problem. However, I have no clue as to how I can output formatted text using the IRC burk (bold, underline, reverse and color) codes. I have tried a couple of objects but failed. Does anybody here know how text can be output with the proper format? I suppose I could use something that emulates RichText, but is it possible to append text to such an object?

Thanks in advance. :)

I remember you talking about this with babyorphan (I think) over at scriptaz ages ago. I thought about your comments last night (something about DrawTextEx() etc), hoping there'd be an easier way :p Oh well, I guess not.

I guess I'll start working on that. Thanks.

Oh man, that was so long ago. DrawText will handle multi-line wrapping, but not the control codes. That's why you have to manual do it. On top of that, there is scrolling. My control [zview] to do all this is over 2k lines of code.

Is it possible to append text to that without having to re-create the whole JEditorPane?

yes. the is most likely an append method too which will append text to the pane

Look up the Java API on these sorts of questions

- I think HTML is your best bet, it is easy to understand, you can easily show

color, different fonts, styles etc.

    • Meta says you'll soon be getting ads on WhatsApp

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      If your SMS service implements RCS E2E encryption, go for it, there's really no difference. But switching to Telegram, for example? Why? Telegram also shows you ads, if you didn't know, and they were doing it before WhatsApp. Also, Telegram isn't E2E encrypted by default, you have to manually enable it for every chat.
