Description Danny Vacar CLA 2008-08-08 15:39:40 EDT
1. Open a context help filed in the Context Help Editor
2. In the source view, add <b> </b> around some content
3. Go back to the Definition view

Current behaviour: The content between the tags (say <b> This should be bold </b>) is not shown in the Description box. Moreover, if content near <b> This should be bold </b> is edited, it can over write it.

Preferred behaviour: The text is shown and bold (or formatted according to the tags, will open another bug to request basic HTML formatting).

Acceptable behaviour: Display the tags around the content in the Description box. This would go along with http://bugs.eclipse.org/243625
