Description
If I add my own templates preferences page for my DSL then it shows the same incorrect variables documentation like the Xtend templates preferences. See screenshot 
In the screenshot I marked the wrong presentation of the template documentation with yellow color.
If you compare it to the templates preferences of the Java editor then the documentation should open in an additional overlay window where HTML syntax is interpreted for layouting the docs. See screenshot 
.

Research direction
Start by comparing the custom DSL and Xtend template preferences with the Java editor's template preferences, using the issue screenshots as the expected behavior. Trace where the variables documentation is rendered and verify that the completed change opens it in an overlay with HTML layout interpreted.
