[wp-hackers] adding HTML to readme.txt

[Phillip Lord]

Okay, that was useful. Span tags are not, unfortunately, allowed in
readme.txt, AFAICK -- parse-readme.php contains. 


		$allowed = array(
			'a' => array(
				'href' => array(),
				'title' => array(),
				'rel' => array()),
			'blockquote' => array('cite' => array()),
			'br' => array(),
			'p' => array(),
			'code' => array(),
			'pre' => array(),
			'em' => array(),
			'strong' => array(),
			'ul' => array(),
			'ol' => array(),
			'li' => array(),
			'h3' => array(),
			'h4' => array()
		);

Which is unfortunate for me. Ah well. Think again. Thanks for the help.
