According to thread <http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=79190&listName=nbdev> and folowup discussion on nbdev, italics or bold html tags for property sheet display names should work. Jesse asked that I file a bug with a small test case. I'll attach that next.

I looks like a enhancement. SheetButton which renders the property names haven't supported html tags. I change it on enhancement for the next release. Rochelle increase a priority to yours view if needed. Thanks for a test case too.
No, I don't have a real requirement - I needed to use the tags in the *value* and had to implement it myself =). In discussion with Jesse on nbdev, he said this was supposed to work and if it didn't I should file a bug with a test case.
Set target milestone to TBD
Sorry, Rochelle - I do want to see your problem solved, but HTML is not a good way to do it. I propose an alternative here: http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=429821&listName=nbdev
Actually, I needed it in the value, not the name. Jesse told me it worked and if it didn't I should file a bug, so I did. This issue really talks about the bold/italics being possible, though. Why don't you keep it open to implement your nbdev proposal?
Hadn't thought about doing that - but to keep the list manageable, I'd just as soon list this as a requirement on the umbrella property sheet rewrite task.
Right. I thought that was the point of listing other tasks/issues on which the umbrella task dependends. Should it contain its own items or just pointers to other issues?
Maybe my umbrella is upside down :-) For that and the help/awt issues one, I set the umbrella issue up to block the other requests - for both those cases a single fix (rewrite of something major) is likely to fix or invalidate the entire list of issues. Did I get it backwards?
I don't know =). Ask David S. - he did a lot of these for property sheets before.
Should be added to Tim's umbrella (which is now right side up =)).
This should work in the new property sheet, although I should note that once the lightweight HTML renderer is in the trunk, the table cell renderer should be converted to use it - JLabel-based renderers will go out and build a document tree for a trivial string, resulting in 10x slower performance.
FYI, this is currently broken in the new property sheet, for the same performance reason that it is broken in explorer. Once the new lightweight HTML renderer I wrote is integrated (currently it may be as late as promotion D - Trung wants my time spent in other places), it will work.
Html renderer merged.
