This was never a supported feature, but it's a neat idea and I wouldn't
be against re-enabling this.

The old indicator-datetime code set the label text this way:

>        gboolean use_markup = FALSE;
>        if (pango_parse_markup(timestr, -1, 0, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL))
>                use_markup = TRUE;
>
>        if (use_markup)
>                gtk_label_set_markup(label, timestr);
>        else
>                gtk_label_set_text(label, timestr);

While it's now done in libindicator's indicator-ng.c this way:

> static void
> indicator_ng_set_label (IndicatorNg *self,
>                         const gchar *label)
> {
>   if (label == NULL || *label == '\0')
>     {
>       if (self->entry.label)
>         gtk_widget_hide (GTK_WIDGET (self->entry.label));
>       return;
>     }
> 
>   gtk_label_set_label (GTK_LABEL (self->entry.label), label);
>   gtk_widget_show (GTK_WIDGET (self->entry.label));
> }

We could re-add pango markup support by updating indicator_ng_set_label
to use the _set_markup() function when appropriate.

Title:
  Custom format does not handle html formatting any more

Status in Libindicator:
  Confirmed
Status in “indicator-datetime” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Until Ubuntu 13.04, the format of date and time in indicator-datetime
  could be formatted with HTML tags, like explained e.g. here:
  http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/10/how-to-customize-the-clock-applet-
  in-ubuntu

  Since 13.10, this behaviour is not available any more.

  Downgrading indicator-datetime to 12.10.3daily13.03.26-0ubuntu1 brings
  back the functionality in Gnome Flashback, but not in Unity.
