Because we are using XML for storing our localized strings, you can't embed HTML in the localized version of the string. If you try to use straight HTML, the XML parser gets confused, and only includes the part of the string within HTML tags. For example: <msg id="message.defaultSystemGroups">Default system groups updated for<strong>HA HA</strong></msg> Will resolve to "HA HA". If you escape the HTML and use: <msg id="message.defaultSystemGroups">Default system groups updated for<strong>HA HA</strong></msg> This resolves to: "Default system groups updated for <strong>HA HA</strong> Neither of these is correct. I need the <strong>/</strong> to be unescaped when printed in the HTML stream.
Use CDATA around the body of the tag: for example: <msg id="errors.header"><![CDATA[<div class="local-alert"><ul>]]></msg> Feel free to close this bug if this works for you. It definitely works for me and was my intention to use CDATA for all messages that contain XML or HTML.
CDATA should most definitely work. I suggested this to Ryan last week.
Turns out it is a combination of CDATA and telling the JSP to not escape the xml tags. Fixed now.
