Formatting Error Messages - use HTML for nicer messages - possible?

Hi All

I tried adding some HTML to various error messages (like during checkout) to help make the error messages more visually helpful, but it didn't seem to work. The html for things like < p > seemed to be ignored (or maybe I need to add more than one < p > to get a real paragraph effect working). Anyway, for some error messages, I'd love to post a bullet list in the error message and things like that. Can error messages utilize HTML?

Many thanks :-)

Mostly they can, but you have to use correct html, and yes you must always close the <P> whit </p> :)
