Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)<\/strong>, is language used to describe the semantic content of web pages. This can be added using the custom HTML block. This block allows you to insert your code so you can fine-tune your content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The custom HTML block is for raw HTML only; for example, shortcode is not parsed in this block. It attempts to render any valid HTML. However, if a user lacks the unfiltered_html<\/code> capability (e.g., Contributor), WordPress will sanitize the content using wp_kses()<\/a><\/code>, stripping disallowed tags like <script><\/code>, <iframe><\/code>, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
