title: Java JTextArea hightliting text with a bold font
body: <p>I need several words to be highlighted in a String while appending it to a JTextArea. So that I try this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>jta.append("&lt;html&gt; &lt;b&gt;Termination time : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/html&gt;" + 
                          CriterionFunction.estimateIndividual_top(individual) + "\n");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Where jta is a JTextArea. The output I get is: <code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;b&gt;Termination time : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/html&gt; 15</code></p>
  
  <p>I have read some forum articles about such a problem, and it was said that <code>&lt;html&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/html&gt;</code> would help. But it doesn't. </p>
  
  <p>Please, tell me. where is my mistake?</p>
