Some special characters are being seen incorrectly breaking styling. not sure if this is a baserow issues or webstudio issue
Hi @Adam,
can you tell us what field type are you using and what are your expectations when getting the data back?
It’s a long text with rich text activated. It should return < but it’s encoded instead
Yes it is encoded to HTML entities. Rich text field is basically a Markdown field that supports a limited set of Markdown and doesn’t allow HTML to be inserted.
So the code you see in your screenshot in the right sidebar is the correct Baserow response. All your HTML tags are basically treated like text, not HTML.
This makes the Baserow rich text field safe to use and limits users in what they can do with it.
You can convert the entities back to HTML if you trust the data. But if what you really want is to store HTML in Baserow I’d recommend using the plain long text field instead of the rich text. It will just store whatever you put there without modifying it in any way.
