Why is my embedded HTML not rendered?

For security reasons, PocketQuery escapes HTML embedded in PocketQuery templates as strings (e.g. HTML fetched from an external datasource), which will lead to the HTML code being shown in the rendered template.

To prevent this behaviour, you can add the following statement at the top of your template:

#disable_html_escaping()

Note that this only works with custom templates.

We want to caution that when using this directive, you should be in full control of the HTML being rendered since otherwise this may lead to security problems. For more details, please check out this article on Velocity rendering in Atlassian Jira.
