Bug? Tooltip with < in text

[CaptKronos]

Just noticed that if a comment before a sub definition contains a '<' symbol, the tooltip does not show and instead '(Invalid description)' is displayed.

'This comment will cause the tooltip to display an error because of the < symbol
Sub test
End Sub

I think toottips are shown as html text, so a hanging or invalid < is causing the rendering error.
Erel may have to add extra check for them.

That's possible, but other symbols such as > don't cause a problem.

Use this instead: &lt;

Thanks, that works. However, the main reason for raising this was to report the 'bug'.

This is not considered a bug. The IDE allows you to use a few html tags (<b>, <link> and a more) and escaping all of them will remove this functionality.
