How do I properly use `HTMLEditorKit.insertHTML()`?

Here is my code.

editPane is a JEditorPane. HTMLKit is a HTMLEditorKit assigned to editPane.

try
{
  HTMLKit.insertHTML(
  (HTMLDocument) editPane.getDocument(),
  editPane.getCaretPosition(),
  "test", 0, 0, HTML.Tag.B);
}
catch (Exception exc)
{
  // TODO Auto-generated catch block
  exc.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println(editPane.getText());

I started with the text [hello].
I expected to see the text [hello test].

However, the bold text was not inserted. How do I make it do what I want?

Try:

String text = "<b>bold";
editorKit.insertHTML(doc, doc.getLength(), text, 0, 0, null);
System.out.println( textPane.getText() );

or

String text = "<b>bold";
editorKit.insertHTML(doc, doc.getLength(), text, 0, 0, HTML.Tag.B);
System.out.println( textPane.getText() );

The output from the text pane will show you what the difference is between using "null" or the HTML tag.

I don't really understand the functionality of the last 3 methods of the method.
