    Hello,
    Let’s say I have a field in my eForm defined as follow:

    <input type="text" name="htmlTest" value="<h2> This is a Test</h2>"  />


    When I get the field value in the report form using [+htmlTest+], the html formatting is gone.

    What should I do to get the HTML back in the report form?

    Thank you

      No, you don’t put the header tags in the form field! Put the header tags in the report chunk template.
      <h2>[+htmlTest+]</h2>

        Yes, that would be the proper to do it.
        However in my case, while I am still in the form I generate via JQuery a HTML string that I want to display in the report form. Is there a way to do that?
        Thank you

          I’ve got it. I simply need to add 
          &allowhtml=`1`
