Malformed pango markup

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Preferences -> Keyboard
2. Type <span>{volume}</span>

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
An extra '>' is added to the the output after the {volume} tag.  Thus, pango is 
apparently fed this malformed string

'<span>{volume}></span>'
Which is what is displayed in the desktop notification.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
volti .2.3 on archLinux

Please provide any additional information below.
volti is being used in xfce4.8

xfce4-notifyd only supports basic tags like b,i,u, see this spec 
http://galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/x161.html

notification-daemon supports more tags, I am not sure but I think it supports 
this
http://library.gnome.org/devel/pango/unstable/PangoMarkupFormat.html

notify-osd doesn't support any markup, but it will strip them if it finds them 
in body.
I guess I can only try to detect notification server and have different default 
config for them, and maybe explain that in tooltip.

Hi,

I have same malformed Pango.
I'm using Linuxmint13 with Cinnamon 64 bits.

Otherwise your mixer works fine, i can use + - and mute and select my soundcard 
which i was really needing.

What do i need to make notify works properly ?
