Label expressions & text formatting tags

$

Hello:

I can't believe I haven't found this issue discussed anywhere, so hopefully it's a silly mistake I'm making. Basically, I can't get font formatting tags to work in label expressions. So, for example, if I use the following label expression, taken directly from ArcGIS Desktop help except for the field name and swapping from VB to Python:

Code:

"<bol><und>" + [NAME] + "</und></bol>"
The label is printed not with "Name" bold and underlined, but with the tags printed on either side, like so:

Code:

<bol><und>Name goes here</und></bol>
I've tried the original VB example; same result.

What am I doing wrong? I'm running ArcGIS 10.2.1 on Windows 7. Thanks.
