where exactly is this doc? 

Documentation -> ictags -> value 

does not mention this. I checked originally when I tried to solve the
problem. I am using the docs on www.icdevgroup.org. Is there a more
up-to-date source of info?

a search of icdevgroup.com for "enable_html" also drew a blank.

thanks anyway for the tip, i'll give it a shot.

just out of interested, the characters weren't converted to &lt;, but
removed altogether.
