Hello bookface. Nice name by the way haha
Can you please elaborate slightly? Why do you wish to display the source code in a web browser?
Thanks.

Haha thanks!
In brief, my program reads a soure code saved in txt file, formats it accordingly (ie highlights string in green, keywords in orange, comments in grey and makes the appropriate indentation) then displays the latter in a browser.
Now that I think about it. Can I just write the source code to a file and save it as -.html through coding so that the user can open it and it'll automatically open in the browser?

If you are using servlet container then there are many many web UI libraries out there using which you can efficiently generate your formatted html code and publish on to the server.
If you wish to generate a standalone html file then use any standalone HTML UI library(very few of them are available) to format the code into HTML and flush it to output file.
