Hi Egil,

The THREDDS doc is *technically* correct: you can include arbitrary XHTML
in a documentation element and it will be displayed in the dataset summary
page. However, the XHTML will be escaped [1] first, probably to prevent
users from accidentally breaking the page. Frankly, I'm not sure why you'd
ever *want* to include (escaped) XHTML, but there you go.

Cheers,
Christian
