 IMO it's a source view, so they shouldn't be translated (at least
implementation of this is unclear to me)

 May be this is HText* rendering problem? 

3) Some pages have very long lines or line breaks inside tags. This leads to
very long logical lines in output - so the limit of 64 color styles in the
line gets exhausted - the color attributes become wrong/unbalanced. Probably
this problem is related to 2) - so we can hack HText_put_character so it will
insert LY_SOFT_NEWLINE or start another line.
