Hi,

I have a snippet of html stored in a contact property.

I want to use this snippet in a custom e-mail module, so i put this in the module:

{{ contact[html\_snip\_property]|safe }}

I use the safe filter to indicate that no escaping should be done. However, the escaping is still done, resulting in visible html tags in the output of my e-mail module.

Any suggestions on how to get around this?

thanks

Hi, @PDeT 👋 I do not have a workaround to offer. And I wanted to share this [documentation on HubL filters](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/hubl/filters) — **Please note:** you can apply HubL filters to [personalization tokens](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/website-pages/personalize-your-content), such as contact and company tokens, on HubSpot CMS and blog pages, but **not** in emails.

Best,

Jaycee
