+
+ @param markup
+ String containing markup for the label. It may contain markup tags
+ described above and newline characters but currently only wxGTK and
+ wxOSX support multiline labels with markup, the generic
+ implementation (also used in wxMSW) only handles single line markup
+ labels. Notice that the string must be well-formed (e.g. all tags
+ must be correctly closed) and won't be shown at all otherwise.
+ @return
+ @true if the new label was set (even if markup in it was ignored)
+ or @false if we failed to parse the markup. In this case the label
+ remains unchanged.
+
+
+ Currently wxButton supports markup in all major ports (wxMSW, wxGTK and
+ wxOSX/Cocoa) while wxStaticText supports it in wxGTK and wxOSX and its
+ generic version (which can be used under MSW if markup support is
+ required). Extending support to more controls is planned in the future.
