--------------------------------------

Hi Christian,

with s:fragment it would be the same as with rendered=true/false but with an extra tag, so I don't see the improvement. 
But anyway, fair enough, if you say it's not designed for that use case. 

I simply read the doc and Chapter 15 states:
 "Seam provides the <s:formattedText/> control for display of formatted text that conforms to the Seam Text language. Seam Text is implemented using an ANTLR-based parser. You don't need to know anything about ANTLR to use it, however."

I thought, that I wanted to do just that  ... :)

Best Regards and thank you for your comments, 
   Kurt

> If there is no text between two formatting characters (*,|,/,...) of SeamText, rendering of the page fails because of an XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: . 
> Example:
> <!-- this one works great -->
> <s:formattedText value="Hello, *this* is the text"/>  
> <!-- this one will break the rendering of the page where embedded -->
> <s:formattedText value="Hello, ** is the text"/>
> Obviously no one would write the such a formatting by hand, but it occurs, if there is a value binding to a property in a backing bean which is null (e.g.: <s:formattedText value="Hello, *#{user.name}* "/> and user.name==null).
