Because less than and greater than are used for html tags they are being removed and text is being truncated. The team is going to discuss this issue further to see what the best approach is. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/html-special-characters-not-escaped#post-52910 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 19:24:47 +0000 wpengine 52910@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've set up a form with multiple Single Line Text fields. Some of these fields are used for inputting passwords, and many of our customers have strong passwords that include various special characters. I've noticed that when the greater than (&gt;) or less than (&lt;) characters are included , they are not properly escaped to the actual HTML coded version of the characters. They should be escaped to<br /> <pre><code>&amp; g t; &amp; l t; (with no spaces)</code></pre> <p>This occurs not only when the form is submitted, but also when attempting to edit the form on the Entries page for that form. I have found that if I manually replace them with the HTML code, then they display properly.</p> <p>Here is the link, although I don't think it will be needed: <a href="https://wpengine.com/migrate/" rel="nofollow">https://wpengine.com/migrate/</a> </p>
