Hi all,

I just created a Timeline Event template in my developer account. My details template looks like this:

### {{ title }}  
{{ description }}

So, I got two tokens, “title” and “description”. Now I would like to add styling to the text in the description using HTML and the API. Thus, I am sending a POST request to [https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/timeline/events](https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/timeline/events%22) that contains a token item with the property:

“description”: “\<p\>Test note #2 with \<span style=\“background-color: #f5c26b;\”\>color highlighting!\</span\>\</p\>”,

However, in the end this is what is rendered.

Does anybody know, how to add HTML styling to Timeline Event Detail tokens?
