Description Rüdiger Herrmann CLA 2013-06-13 09:29:29 EDT 
Like the List widget, the drop down list of the Combo widget should accept markup.

The only problem I can think of is the content of the Combo text field if the selected item has a markup. Currently on the client, the text field is HTML <input> element that accept only plain text. Rüdiger, what do you think? List will look nice, but text filed - what to show there? Content with all the HTML tags removed??!!

I would either show the text only (all markup removed, as you suggested) or disable markup for editable combos.
Removing the markup might result in undesired text. Think of markup to show data in columns like 
+----------+
|en|English|
|de|German |
|en|Spanish|
+----------+
The text would then show "enSpanish"
