Description Ralf Sternberg CLA 2011-08-25 11:27:59 EDT 
The SWT API does not allow for markup in widget texts. However, since the RAP client in rendered in the browser, it would be desirable and relatively simple to support certain HTML tags. Examples include striked through text, embedded HTML links, emphasized font, images, and colors.
We'll need to come up with some addional API to do so.

Added markup support for Label widget.
Comment 2 Ivan Furnadjiev CLA 2012-03-14 11:14:32 EDT 
Added markup support for CLabel widget too.
Comment 3 Ralf Sternberg CLA 2012-03-14 17:42:30 EDT 
I think with markup support for these widget in place, most use cases we had in mind can now be addressed, so I'm going to close this bug.
If there's a need to extend markup support to more widgets, we should open separate enhancement requests.
