In 7.9.13 we are building some new reports that have some text blocks stored in a DB. The content is HTML that is rendered in a text box in the report. I’m trying to use sub-script tag and it is no rendering properly, it seems reporting never sees the close tag. Any other way of passing a subscript in from the DB? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/4/4f47ce71b817fff39d90eaadff81331510cf0cd0.png) ```auto ``` ---

Hm, reporting might be re-escaping the HTML at some point - or has a problem with the slash in the closing tag. Do you get the same result if you use `//` in the database, or add a newline (not a `
`) after the ``? For a workaround, if the subscripts are always numeric, you could try parsing your HTML and replacing it with literal substring characters: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode\_subscripts\_and\_superscripts#Superscripts\_and\_subscripts\_block](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_subscripts_and_superscripts#Superscripts_and_subscripts_block) If you’ve always got fairly simple input, then it’d be within the domain of a regex (insert standard caveat about parsing HTML with a regular expression here). ---

Yes, something in reports doing weird escaping… when I // I get below. Also tried a new line and no change… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/2/221ad82ffbbedb921bcf8cb0d78b7cbc99785cde.png) I just tried the Unicode U+2080, but that doesn’t want to render in the font, so would need to play with fonts to get that to work. ☹ ---

What about `₀` (₀)? Same rendering behavior? ---
