How to format html in email action element?

I have the following;
    <action name="email-me">
        <email xmlns="uri:oozie:email-action:0.2">
            <to>${wf:user()}@mail.com</to>
            <subject>Test email from Oozie</subject>
            <body>
This is a test email from the Oozie email sample workflow in Hadoop. It was sent as HTML format. In
order to use HTML, you must set email-action:0.2 for the new versoin of this XML tag to pick up the
new content_type option that allows specification of HTML.

How do we embed <b>tags</b> into this?

Workflow Job:    ${wf:id()}
Workflow Name:   ${wf:name()}
Workflow Path:   ${wf:appPath()}
            </body>
            <content_type>text/html</content_type>
        </email>

I get this error because it doesn't like my <b>tags</b> HTML code within the <body></body> tag. 

oozie job -config /hdfs/public/sample/oozie/email2/job.properties -run
Error: E0701 : E0701: XML schema error, cvc-type.3.1.2: Element 'body' is a simple type, so it must have no element information item [children].

How does one actually format HTML tags within the <body> section when using text/html for the content_type? Do they need to be escaped in some manner?
