Second thoughts...

The --no-markup option prevents zenity from interpreting \n which makes the dialog hard to read in most cases. So only adding --no-markup is not a viable solution.

As a possible alternative I played with sed() a bit. The script includes this line:

TEXT="$PARA1\n\n$(fold -s $ERR)\n\n$PARA2"

My thought is to add a new line right after that. Something along these lines:

TEXT=$(printf '%s' "$TEXT" | sed 's/</\&lt;/g')

which would replace all occurrences of '<' with '&lt;'. Can you please test that and see if it helps in your case.
