I'm using string builders to append text to my JTextPane, I've set content type as pane.setContentType("text/html"); but the no text actually appears on my JTextPane.
This is an example of my append:
buildSomething.append("<b style=\"color:pink\">"+Birthday+"</span>");
Is there something I'm doing severely wrong? And how do I go about fixit it?

@Joop Eggen
1st. loop generate
buildSomething.append("<span style=\"color:pink\">" + myBirthday + "</span>");
2nd. loop generate same output, I think that doesn't matter if is wrapped inside <html> ..<html> or not because there is pane.setContentType("text/html");
and (not correct code that I posted here <html> ..</html>)
buildSomething1.append("<html><span style=\"color:pink\">"
+ myBirthday + "</span></html>");

Every time
JTextPane.setText(...)is called a new content type is determined. Start the text with"<html>"and you've got HTML.A new document is created, in your case HTMLDocument.
@mKorbel: the following creates every time HTML for the JTextPane.
