The Announcement portlet allows only to display a text on a single line.
It should be great to have the possibility to make HTML announcements.

To by-pass this, I added the following script to the page Javascript to "enable" HTML for announcements. But it's ugly and doesn't support "Mark as Read" then "Show".

function enableHTML()
{
	var entries = document.getElementById("portlet_84").getElementsByClassName("entry");

	for(var i=0; i < entries.length; i++)
	{
		entries[i].innerHTML=entries[i].innerHTML.replace(/&lt;/g,"<").replace(/&gt;/g,">").replace(/\\</g,"&lt;").replace(/\\>/g,"&gt;");
	}
}

window.onload = enableHTML;

Thanks.
