Use HTML in java with existing variables

I am trying to create a table within a JTextArea using the contents of a LinkedList. Right now I have:

for(int i = 0; i < commands.size(); i++) {
        String row = "<html><table><tr><td>"+commands.get(i)+"</td><td>"+desc.get(i)+"</td></tr></table></html>";
        MainConsole.console.textArea.append(row+"\n");
    }

However, when it compiles, it remains as plain text: 1

Any tips on getting the table to display?

Thanks in advance.

TextArea is for displaying simple text, use JEditorPane for HTML text

public class TestJEditorPane {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame();

    JEditorPane pane = new JEditorPane();
    pane.setContentType("text/html");
    pane.setText("<html><b>Hello World</b></html>");

    frame.add(pane);
    frame.setSize(200, 200);
    frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
