Description Steffen Pingel CLA 2010-08-22 03:32:59 EDT 
Sometimes a browser widget is too heavy weight, e.g. when embedded in a tooltip, and a more light weight method for rendering HTML text is needed. The commons core API should provide means to convert HTML to plain text. See HTML2TextReader in JFace for reference.
Comment 1 Steffen Pingel CLA 2010-08-22 03:34:05 EDT 
HTMLUtil.toText() is now available in org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.core.
