FormText <span> tag not supported? [message #459097] Mon, 01 August 2005 21:21 Go to next message

I tried using the org.eclipse.ui.forms.widgets.FormText widget to display
XML formatted text, but can't get the <span> tag to work. Everything
within the <span> tag disappears.

When I step through the code in the debugger, it looks like only <p> and
<li> tags are recognized.

Is the <span> tag ignored? All I really want to do is display some read-
only wrapped text, with certain words or phrases highlighted in red.

I found the problem. I discovered that <span></span> tags are only
recognized if they occur within <p></p> tags.
