		<description><![CDATA[Dragster 3 has been updated to allow basic HTML formatting tags to be used in pop-up feedback text. Four tags can now be used when defining this text:

&#60;b&#62;bold&#60;/b&#62;
&#60;i&#62; italic&#60;/i&#62;
&#60;sup&#62;superscript&#60;/sup&#62;
&#60;sub&#62;subscript&#60;/sub&#62;

NB &#8211;  you should ensure that the activity setting HTML formating in element text is checked when using these tags, particularly if using subscripts and superscripts.
