Rendering html that's within a variable

Questions and Help
1

Hi there! I am importing a field from a DB table that already has html formatting code in it. When I display this field in my snippet, the source code itself appears rather than rendering the formatting such as underline, bold, break, etc. From looking through the forums I am pretty sure there's no way to get this formatting to render, but is there a workaround? I guess short of formatting it, i'd be satisfied with stripping the html, although retaining at least the line breaks would be nice.

Right now it's displaying like this
<U><B>Cover:</B></U>&#160;status info about cover<B>date, </B>more info&#160;<B>*important info</B><BR /> &#160;&bull; more info

Actually, I can get this same content with no html tags in a different way and display that. So if there's currently no way to render the html (which would be my preference), this can move to feature request. Thanks!

Hi Megan,

You are correct that Text Blaze can't currently render HTML in that way, but I am glad you found a workaround! Thank you for your feature request, we will look into it.

We're actually working on a "Snippet field" for Data Blaze. It will not support html, however it will support all the styling you can use in snippets.
