Greetings Jake, I wanted to let you know that Issue #30 was completed but I was not able to complete Issue #31 or #32. As shown in section, I was able to read in the "output.html" and store it in a string. However, what I found out was that the components I am using (JEditorPane or JTextPane) do not support the XML format. I did a web search and from what I understand I would need to use a third-party library in order to have the XML converted into something JEditorPane could handle. I've tried looking around for other solutions but was not able to find anything substantial. Perhaps there is a better and easier method to implement the GUI but I'm unable to see it. This is my first quarter in Java and to be honest I'm having a hard time understanding how everything works. Seeing how I was not able to complete the issues, I realize that I will not get the majority of points for project 1. I'm hoping that I do at least receive some credit for my time spent trying to set up the GUI. Please take a look at the "SierpinskiTriangleGUI.java" file to see where I was able to get to. Would 200 - 250 points be a reasonable request for everything I was able to accompish?

PROJ1 MOD REVIEW DONE

[kjorg50]

Maybe I just need to spend more time looking at the code... but from reading the README and running both ant EX_DEF and ant EX_GUI, I don't understand the difference between what these two targets do.

EDIT- ok, I see the slight difference between them now. Consider updating the README.md to explain the use cases when it would be better to use one or the other, and what effects they each have.
