Description
In versions up to 1.8.2 one could put html in the autocomplete suggestions, i.e.:
[{"id":"35","label":"some text<br \\/> some more","value":"35 -- blabla"}]
Since version 1.8.3 this is getting escaped, thus breaking the display.
Scott Gonzalez more or less documented the old way in http://forum.jquery.com/topic/using-html-in-autocomplete:
''You can put any HTML you want in your object's label and it should work without overriding the render method.''
I could override the render method, but the only documentation for it i have seen is in the same forum thread, which does not seem to be a guarantee.
The change has been done in response to http://dev.jqueryui.com/ticket/5275 . Please revert, or at least document the _renderItem method.
This change won't be reverted as it was intentional. There's already an example of how to accomplish this with the examples. We don't currently have a way to document "private" methods that are really public, but we will document this once we have a way to. In the meantime, the example acts as the documentation.
