[SiSi'mon <s_...@purpleblade.net>]

If I set escape="false" in <h:outputText> why can't I include HTML in the
text?

thanks

Some posts I read say that you can do this:

   <h:outputText
            styleClass="my-text"
            escape="false"
            value="After pressing the Save button, <P>... other html tags
here"/>

but when I do, I get this:

---
SEVERE: Error Rendering View[/web/delegation.xhtml]
com.sun.facelets.FaceletException: Error Parsing /web/delegation.xh
tml: Error Traced[line: 101] The value of attribute "value" associated with

lement type "h:outputText" must not contain the '<' character.

com.sun.facelets.compiler.SAXCompiler.doCompile(SAXCompiler.java:234)


any ideas?

This is because you're using an xml file format for your page.
You have to represent a literal <P> using xml escaping -- &lt;P&gt;
When you change your value binding to an EL expression rather than a
string literal, you won't have this issue.

Also, wouldn't it be better to use <BR/> instead of <P>?
