    Default Implementing HTML tags in Java Source Code

    On finding a '{' in the ArrayList<String> a, I want my code to insert a line break in the next index position. How do I insert the line break using HTML tags? I know HTML line break is represented by <br> but is this compatible with a java source code...? Many thanks.

    If I understand your question correctly (posting code would help describe your scenario), suppose you have:
    ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
    list.add("<html>");
    list.add("{");
    list.add("}");
    Then iterate through and add the br string where you wish:
    for ( int i = list.size()-1; i >= 0; i-- ){
        if ( list.get(i).equals("{")){
            list.add( i+1, "<br>");
        }
    }
    Note the loop is in reverse, so you can add elements without disrupting the future portions of the arraylist

    Here's my piece of code:
     public void studyText(String originalText) {
     
            textInArray = toArray(originalText);
            Iterator arrayText = textInArray.iterator();
     
            while (arrayText.hasNext()) {
                if (arrayText.next().equals('{') || arrayText.next().equals('}')){
                    int i = textInArray.indexOf(arrayText.next()); 
                    textInArray.add(i+1, "<br>"); 
                }
            }
    >where toArray() is a method within the same class!

    Thank you, you've answered my question! I wasn't too sure how to incorporate the HTML tags into my code!
    (Didn't try running this piece of code yet, NetBeans doesn't seem to have any syntactic problem with it but if you see any logic flaw...let me know. Many thanks!)

    I don't know how you wish to use your ArrayList, why you are using a List, or what you fully want to accomplish in the scheme of things - so I couldn't advise you one way or the other.

    In the code you posted, a note of caution in changing a collection while iterating over its iterator. Glad I could answer your question - the reverse loop will allow you to change the list as you loop through and not face the hazards of changing the collection while using its iterator.
