Description Ralf Sternberg CLA 2015-02-09 10:17:55 EST 
Markup in JavaDoc (HTML tags such as <em>, <pre>, <code>, <strong>) is ignored in the JavaDoc view. I remember that this has worked once.

What do you mean by ignored? Can you provide a concrete test case?

With ignored I mean that only the plain text is displayed, without any markup applied. I'll attach a screenshot.

This looks like the SWT Browser widget doesn't work in your install.
Comment 4 Ralf Sternberg CLA 2015-02-09 10:51:42 EST 
Right, that was the reason. At some point, I've added the system property

    -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

as a last resort to work around the SWT crashes related to some shared webkit libraries on Linux. Seems that this disabled the browser widget completely. Removing this property brought the markup back.

Thanks and sorry for the noise.
