My String.xml is:

<resources>
<string name="app_name">MyAppTXT_PageSplit</string>
<string name="text_to_show" formatted="false">
    <![CDATA[
       <i><b>Forbes Leadership, 2015</b></i><br><br>
       Your Emotional Intelligence (EI) directly relates to your ability to lead people successfully.

Remove formatted="false" from

  <string name="text_to_show" formatted="false">

or set it to true.
