First of all thanks for the great scripts. It's really simple to use them :).
When using the ios-strings.rb script in our project I encountered issues with strings that included styling with html tags. Only the first element/text element was included in the ios string after the import from android.
Example of a problematic string: <string name="nicebox">Nice<b>box</b></string>. In android I use it via ui_widget.setText(getText(R.string.nicebox)) and it correctly sets the text but on ios when I use it via some_function_to_parse_html(R.string.nicebox^) the output is just Nice the <b>box</b> part gets completely ignored.

The android documentation describing styled strings embeded in
