Showing a mathematical series in JLabel

Question

How can I show a mathemetical series in a JLabel?

Right now I do it like this by using a String with HTML tags.

String s = "<html>&Sigma;<sup>N</sup><sub>i = 0</sub> x <sub>i</sub></html>";

Result: enter image description here

Is there a nicer way to do this? Because the output is very ugly. Usually N should be above the sigma and i = 0 below.

A nicer way to do this is using a third party library to render Latex code in Java.

There are several of them for example JLatexMath, here's a example tutorial.

For instance, using the program of that example your summatory could look like this:

Or like this:
