Problem/Motivation

Views field labels are rendered as plain text only, so HTML cannot be used.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install Drupal
  2. Edit the content admin view
  3. Edit the 'Title' field, and add HTML to the label, e.g. <strong>Title</strong>
  4. See that the HTML is rendered as plain text

Proposed resolution

Potentially allow HTML here?

Original report

I need to create a some labels with custom HTML. I see my label is currently checkplain'ed and I cannot find a checkbox to allow HTML. Trustworty users should be able to add HTML code into the views labels... How can I stop views running checkplain?

Example label:
<acronym class="custom-font" title="Male">&#9794;</acronym> (all)

I must set a custom-font for the ♂ char as it looks very bad in Verdana and I need to change this to Lucida Console or any other. I see no way around. The rest of the label should stay as is in Verdana.

    This was triaged as part of BSI. Is this bug still relevant? It may have been a duplicate of #2363423: views-view-fields.html.twig gets escaped → ?

    If not, please update the issue summary with the standard template including steps to reproduce the issue from a fresh Drupal installation.

    For me it still seems to be relevant. I just edited the default content view (under /admin/structure/views/view/content) to reproduce the issue. There I added an new field with html in the label. The html of the label gets escaped. Switching to a different display style (i.e. unformatted list) has the same result.

    I think it's clear this is intentional, so converting to a feature request to see if there is support for allowing HTML in the field labels.
