Remarks

Bar items support BarItem.Caption and BarItem.Description formatting using a set of HTML tags.

You can enable the HTML formatting feature for individual bar items via the BarItem.AllowHtmlText property or for all bar items within a BarManager/RibbonControl via the BarManager.AllowHtmlText/RibbonControl.AllowHtmlText property. If you enable HTML formatting for all bar items, you can still disable the feature for individual bar items by setting the BarItem.AllowHtmlText property to False.

Even if HTML text formatting is disabled for all bar items, you can enable this feature for individual bar items by setting the BarItem.AllowHtmlText property to True.

If the AllowHtmlText property is set to Default, the HTML formatting feature is controlled by the BarManager.AllowHtmlText/RibbonControl.AllowHtmlText property.
