How does the new renderer understand where to
put the breaks?  What formats to use?

Perhaps it is better to break the problem into parts..
- How to get a JComponent to display HTML
- How to get the renderer to understand the HTML
formatting that needs to be performed.
- How to get JTree to use the component.

JEP would also be possible, but its default behaviour
is to allow editing, and it has many features not required
to simply render HTML.

In any case, you were on the right track with your 
example, hopefully this will get you further..
<sscce>
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;

class BigRedText {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String message1 = "Big Red Text";

    String message2 = "<font size='+2'>Big</font> " +
      "<font color='red'>Red</font><br>Text";
    JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel( new BorderLayout() );

    JLabel labelNoHTML = new JLabel(message1);
    mainPanel.add( labelNoHTML, BorderLayout.NORTH );

    JLabel labelAsHTML = new JLabel("<html><body>" + message1);
    mainPanel.add( labelAsHTML, BorderLayout.CENTER );
    // ..it looks EXACTLY the same (why wouldn't it?)

    // Now our String with HTML formatting
    JLabel labelWithHTML = new JLabel("<html><body>" + message2 );
    mainPanel.add( labelWithHTML, BorderLayout.SOUTH );

    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, mainPanel);
  }
}
</sscce>
