I have created a Custom Field / Label for a customer where I insert some HTML case: **Test**  
  
But when i include this field in my mail mautic strips HTML tags so I’m left with “Test” only  
  
  
  
Any way for Mautic not to strip HTML tags?

We posted the same question last month 🙂

What we did was encode the html in base64 and use this plugin to decode the base64 in the template.

@kuzmany’s [MauticCustomTags plugin](https://github.com/mtcextendee/mautic-custom-tags-bundle) worked great. Thanks, @gary.harrison for the tip!
