Java - HTML tags for JLabel

I'm trying to get a JLabel to display new line characters by using HTML tags. But the text I want is obtained from a method. Here's the line of code:

myLabel.setText("<html><pre>myCart.toString()</pre></html>");

But, this literally sets the text of the label to myCart.toString(), not to the String that is returned by the method. Is there a way around this?

"

myCart.toString()
"

should be

"

" + myCart.toString()+ "
"

But I am only repeating what Eng.Fouad said

   myLabel.setText(MessageFormat.format("<html><pre>{0}</pre></html>",myCart.toString()));

Do you mean?

myLabel.setText("<html><pre>" + myCart.toString() + "</pre></html>");

or just:

myLabel.setText("<html><pre>" + myCart + "</pre></html>");

since toString() will be called implicitly.
