Hello!

I would like to use HTML code in attribute names and their values.

I entered e.g.

U\<sub\>in\</sub\>

as an attribute name for input voltage.

However in the shop it is converted to entities in the source code of the page:

U\<sub\>in\</sub\>

the same happens with html strings in the attribute values.

What do I have to do to change this behaviour?

Regards,

MK

I have the same problem and don’t know what to do with it.

Tried all possible variants in:

Master Settings -\> Core Settings -\> System -\> Other Settings

How to handle PHP code embedded in Smarty templates

nothing worked out, is it a bug?

Thanx for support.

Ilya

Hey Ilya,

IMO it’s a slightly different prob and it was a bug:[https://bugs.oxid-esales.com/view.php?id=760](https://bugs.oxid-esales.com/view.php?id=760)
