Atomic text elements REQUIRE the ability to add html to any text anywhere is necessary

[wsgShari]

Describe the Problem

In a sentence or a button, we need to be able to add html to text. Right now that's not possible, the html has to be applied to the entire text.

You type this into the text box, and the code shows up as text.

We suggest you use <span class="product">Sprocket Blue</span> it's the best.

Propose a Solution

Allow html in the text box. I can understand that you might not want to allow all html, however all the basics need to be allowed. It is normal practice to emphasize specific words, and the need to use color, bold, italics or links within text. These are basic needs.

Additional Context

Without this, it's an unusable builder.

Or every time a specific work(s) are use they need to have special formatting.

Did you try to use the inline styling?

(note: I've also mentioned it during the beta that it is not that obvious that these icons exist when you just add text to the editor panel)

italic and links are available. spans or custom HTML is not possible, was asked many times and it is "due to security reasons" that it is not there.

Ok, it looks like they are going to be allowing some tags. I agree that there are some that might be problematic (script), not however any of the standard styling ones. So I'll hold out hope ;p

[m1ga]

keep in mind that the some tags was in 2025 and they allowed some using the icons (bold, italic,...)

Well like I said, if I can't do what I need, I'll be moving on. I have all my clients setup with their special case classes. I work with very visual people who want colors, a mix of fonts and other things. If we aren't going to be able to do those things, I'll have to move them to something else.

you can still use v3 widgets for that. but it sounds like it won't happen with atomic widgets any time soon and there is no API yet so nothing other people can build.

Yep & Thanks!

I agree with the request. Supporting basic inline HTML its make Atomic Widgets much more flexible.

Many existing Elementor users rely on custom classes and inline styling for branding, highlighted text, product names, and special content formatting. This is a common requirement in real-world client projects.

At the moment, having to switch back to V3 widgets for these use cases makes migration to Atomic Widgets more difficult. It would be great to see support for safe, sanitized inline HTML and custom classes in the future.
