I am using JTextArea to collect input for steps of recipe instructions. The input text example:
1. STEP ONE
2. STEP TWO
3. STEP THREE
when i print the output into console, it successfully prints it with all the newlines, as follows (same as before):
1. STEP ONE
2. STEP TWO
3. STEP THREE
however, the moment i put the text from JTextArea into a JLabel component, the text displays on a single line:
1. STEP ONE2. STEP TWO3. STEP THREE
Is there some workaround for this? I know that usually JLabel is used with HTML tags to handle multilines using the <br> tag, but since the input is separated with \n newline characters, there seems to be no clean way of going around this. Any advice please?
