So, in your Exhibit data file, you can write something like this

    {   label:   "Event X",
         date: "2008-02-29",
         description: "<p>This is a paragraph with a <b>bolded 
word</b>.</p>"
    }

And if the HTML snippet is too long, you can break it up into lines 
using string concatenation:


    {   label:   "Event X",
         date: "2008-02-29",
         description: "<p>This is a paragraph with a <b>bolded 
word</b>.</p>" +
           "<p>This is the second paragraph.</p>" +
           "<p>This is the third paragraph.</p>"
    }

That's not proper JSON but Exhibit can handle it.

Then define a lens template within the timeline view, e.g.,

    <div ex:role="view" ex:viewClass="Timeline" ex:start=".date">
       <div ex:role="lens">
          <div ex:content=".label"></div>
          <div ex:content=".description"></div>
       </div>
    </div>

Remember, when you see a web page that uses Exhibit and does something 
you want to do, just take a look at its HTML source code, and copy.
