Thanks. That works. FWIW it does not work with ordinary String resources (non arrays) in 2.0.1 unless the gt/lt notation is used. So maybe the change was in 2.1. Further in 2.0.1 the <strike> tag doesn't work for Html.fromHtml although it does work when referenced in the XML layout as show above. <u> (and I preseume <b> and <i>) work with both Html.fromHtml and when String resources are referenced in layout.
