FormText tag not supported? [message #459097]

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

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

Is the 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 tags are only
recognized if they occur within tags.
