I'm creating a plugin that modifies the Content Assist feature. I would like to know the format for the yellow tooltip that appears to the right of the completion proposals. Also, if you know how JDT implements the additional proposal info, that'd be great, since I can't find anything past the seemingly deprecated getAdditionalProposalInfo() method of ICompletionProposal.

I can make the info appear on proposals that I make using the additionalInfo field, but I'm pretty sure there's a better way. Also, I've managed to get things to appear in bold if I surround the text with <b>...</b>, but no other html tags seem to work, so that leaves me puzzled. I tried <i>, <code>, to no avail.

Anything to help me understand how these things work would be appreciated.

JDT has defined a set of tags. you could have a look at the commentary tags（<li>, <br>, @link, @return, @param etc.）. The information format of Content Assist should be as same as these. If you need these formats, then it seems you should customize them by yourself.

Where can I find this list of tags?

Hi,

you can access to windows->preferences->java->editor->template to have a check. Or you can write a shell by yourself, use one styleText in the shell to present your tags.
