Hello

I use the FormText field to display text and hyperlinks in one sentence.
It is possible to quote characters like '<' and '>' in the hyperlink text?

For my example i got an IllegalArgumentException. I coded this:

StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
buf.append("<form>");
buf.append("<p>");
buf.append("<a href=\"method\">the method name is <init></a>");
buf.append("</p>");
buf.append("</form>");

FormText rtext = this.fToolkit.createFormText(composite, true);
rtext.setText(buf.toString(), true, false);

---
I tried to quote "<init>" like "\\<init\\>" and "&ltinit&gt". Both
results in an IllegalArgumentException.

Best regards ...

Karsten

FYI: i develop against eclipse 3.1

If you don't get a good answer here then you should ask this on the
eclipse.platform newsgroup.

Did you try it with > and < ? In HTML the ; is required.
