Title:
  Zenity should ignore markup with a flag

Status in Zenity:
  Fix Released
Status in “zenity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Zenity (specifically, the --info mode) should have a flag that will
  cause it to ignore Pango markup in its input.  I frequently want to
  use Zenity to display output from scripts, and I shouldn't have to
  worry about whether the text has things like ampersands in it.

  (This is particularly annoying, because instead of failing to run when
  given incorrect input, Zenity will silently default to "All updates
  are complete", but that's another bug.)

  I know that I can pipe into zenity --text-info, but that's a
  workaround, and I don't particularly want to confuse the user by
  presenting them with a text entry dialog when I just want to display
  some status information.

  Some sort of --ignore-pango flag for Zenity would be great.
