When accessing context sensitive help stored remotely, the help is returned in xml format.  Context Sensitive Help which includes tml tags, such as <b> cause the xml to be malformed, and the resulting help display is truncated up to the first html tag.

Patch to encode xml description field

Using the UrlUtil.htmlEncode() on the context description allows the xml to be returned properly.  The Eclipse Help View is able to read the encoded text properly and display the correct help text in the display.
