Method Detail

browse

public static void browse(URI uri)

Opens a browser for the given URI. It is supposed to avoid issues with KDE systems.

Parameters:

uri - URI to browse

getHTMLFromFile

public static String getHTMLFromFile(File file)

Returns the HTML text from a given file. It is a wrapper method for getHTMLFromURL().

Parameters:

file - A valid file

Returns:

A HTML String

getHTMLFromURL

public static String getHTMLFromURL(URL url)

Returns the HTML text from a given URL.

This method is intended for HTML files enclosed into the same JAR file as that enclosing the calling class. Therefore, the URL must point the location of the HTML file within that JAR file.

For example, assuming that a file named "example.html" is in the path "/aux-files/html" within the JAR file, then the calling would be as follows:

String html = HTMLUtils.getHTMLFromURL(getClass().getResource("/aux-files/html/examples.html").toURI().toURL());

Important: Image paths are converted to absolute paths.

Parameters:

url - A valid URL

Returns:

A HTML String
