Pango markup not being interpreted correctly. <span color="red">blah</color> shows up. It also looks like the tool and click tags are not getting interpreted correctly either
First of all, I assume you meant </span>, not </color>. Since 2/16, you must wrap <txt> </txt> around that, as without <txt>, it is assumed your text is plain (to avoid surprises with &'s not working; see bug 8316). Even before then, if you want to use <tool> and <click> tags, you have to use <txt> for the text part. echo '<txt><span color="red">blah</span></txt><tool>woo</tool><img></img><click>xclock</click>' should work.
You are correct. I was testing with <text> and not <txt> Making that change it is now working. Thanks Nathan
