Obsidian blocks display attributes with content that includes HTML tags as raw HTML instead of as rendered output

[stanalyst]

Description

If an obsidian block displays an attribute (like a Memo field) - and that attribute's content contains HTML tags - that content will display the raw HTML tags and NOT rendered output. The easiest place to confirm this behavior is the Campus List and Campus Detail blocks.

Actual Behavior

When an attribute content contains HTML tags - the obsidian block displaying that attribute will output its content as raw HTML tags instead of as rendered output.

Expected Behavior

When an attribute content contains HTML tags - the obsidian block should display that attribute's content as rendered output.

Steps to Reproduce

• Add an entity attribute to Campus - type Memo with HTML allowed - and display in grid.
• Edit a Campus and enter content for the new attribute that includes html tags. e.g. <h1>Testing</h1>
• Now navigate to the Campus List and Campus Detail pages and take note of the display of that attribute

Issue Confirmation

• Perform a search on the Github Issues to see if your bug is already reported.
• Reproduced the problem on a fresh install or on the demo site.

@stanalyst we're working to fix this issue when displaying on detail blocks. At this point though the Grid does not support displaying HTML from attributes. Wanted to throw that out there.

@jonedmiston Just to clarify - is the limitation for an obsidian Grid to render HTML specific to attributes only? I'm asking because the Dynamic Data obsidian block renders the HTML returned with the SQL - and the Campus List obsidian block renders the HTML from custom columns.

@stanalyst yes it's for the attribute values that have HTML. We could possible address that in the future, but in it's current state the values are plain text.
