[SOLVED] How to use HTML text inside MessageDialogs? [message #666549]

Hi,

I want to use MessageDialog.open... methods to show information to the user. However, it seems that I cannot use html formatting with these dialogs (i.e. This is bold message ).

Is this true (that I cannot use html formatting with MesasgeDialog)?
Is there any widget that would let me use html formatting (as in JLabel in java)?
Are there any other ways to format a message?

Thanks, best regards,

Yes.

See org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser widget.

or if you don't need fullblown HTML-Support there's a FormText-Widget
from ua which provides support for the most needed tags e.g p,li,a,b

Thanks for the answers. These are all valid, however since it was easier I stick out with JOptionPane and JLabel (I know, it is probably evil to use Swing code in Eclipse but ...).
