I am looking for Documentation that lists all the available HTML tags in Vision.

Specifically I am looking for the definitions for these codes:  
Ex. &#178 (this is for subscript 2)

I don't think this is documented anywhere, even in the Java documentation.

Vision's HTML support is really just Java Swing's HTML support. It's poorly documented and seems to be just a small subset something ancient like HTML 3.x.

Specifically `&#178` is just an HTML entity code; I'll echo Kevin that I don't think this is internally documented anywhere, but you can certainly _try_ any of the codes on this page:

The more modern way to embed arbitrary characters is Unicode; e.g. subscript 2: `₂`. Swing supports unicode characters just fine, but your _font_ may or may not; our default embed in Ignition 8 is Noto Sans with basic support for unicode characters, but there are significant gaps, notably the CJK language families and also emoji.
