Description Gunnar Wagenknecht

It's possible to use markup direclty in RWT widgets. Especially for labals it would be useful to also support a few more common elements as well as attributes.

* <p></p>
* attribute "alt" on <a> (likely also "title")

Both are supported by FormText.

Gunnar, in the first implementation, we decided to support *only* inline HTML elements. That's why <p> as a block-level element is not included. There is no "alt" attribute on the <a> tag. Maybe you have in mind "alt" attribute on the <img> tag? "title" attribute on <a> tag is not a problem.

I see. I just thought it would make porting FormText to Label easier. I can understand that markup should be the same everywhere.

So I figured it works "by accident" in RAP today. I had it in FormText to let the Browser render a tooltip when you hover over the links. But I don't mind moving to the official HTML documented standard attributes.

Added support for "title" and "alt" attributes to <img> tag, "title" attribute to <a> tag.

Perfect. You may close this one one. I'll use your Infobox from the examples to simulate "paragraphs"
