Description daiscog 2015-05-18 11:50:08 UTC

I have several cases where something like "Set<Integer>" appears in my Javadoc.  The editor helpfully displays a warning saying "Unknown HTML Tag: <Integer>".

It would be nice if, when clicking on the little warning icon, I was offered the action of converting the < and > symbols to their respective HTML entities, so that the Javadoc will then read "Set&lt;Integer&gt;" instead.  

This would save me having to painstakingly do it manually for all occurrences (there are many in my project!).

Additionally, an inspect-and-transform task that does the same in one go across all my files would be very useful indeed!

Javadoc issue, reassigning.
