Description Martin Oberhuber CLA 2008-08-06 13:09:49 EDT 
According to the Project Plan specification Wiki at

   http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/Project_Plan

there are sections in the Project plan which should accept HTML, e.g. the <description> tag inside the <theme> tag.

But, when I place valid HTML in there such as
  <description>Test <b>bold</b> markup</description>
the renderer ignores my markup or even swallows the text in it.

I need to enclose the entire section like
  <description><![CDATA[Test <b>bold</b> markup]]></description>
which is an ugly workaround since now my XML editor cannot validate the freeform HTML any more. Also, it is against the specification.

I think that in the end, the freeform text should be valid XHTML as per bug 243303, but it's useless making that change to the spec when the renderer doesn't support it.

We could create an xslt that could handle the namespace aware version if necessary.  The XSLT could run either client side or prefereably server side on the XML files that are created.

This has apparently been resolved with bug 243303.
