Package: zenity
Version: 3.32.0-6
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: none, Francesco Potortì <Potorti at isti.cnr.it>

Zenity interprets at least some html markup in the argument of --text

I discovered it because it gave an error whe I put an "&" in the text.

>From trial and error I discovered that at least these are recognised:

<b>
<a href="http://some.url">

It would be very helpful if this capability were cited in the docs.
