Why does JLabel not display '/' when it is the first character?

jlabel

I have an swing panel with a JLabel inside of it. The JLabel looks like this:

new JLabel("<html>/Foo <br/>/Bar <br/>/Foo<br/>/Bar</html>");

However it displays in the UI like the following:

Bar

Foo

Bar

For some reason, the first line just disappears. If I take out the slash or remove the html tags, it works as expected. Is there a way to make the first line show up with the slash? The reason this even showed up is that we have JLabels which are populated by third party data. I could programatically remove the slash, but I would prefer to show it in the UI if there is a way to do it. We are using html and the BR tags in order to make sure each value is on a separate line.

I guess its a parsing problem. It works if you add the body tags:

"<html><body>/Foo <br/>/Bar <br/>/Foo<br/>/Bar</body></html>"
