By default the title will be outputted as it was written. If you want to change the behavior to be able to use HTML, you can do that by either creating a widget template in your theme, or make a small change in the default template.
I will get back to you this weekend on how to accomplish both of these.
Sorry for the delay.
To allow HTML for the title you will need to open the /wp-content/plugins/hw-image-widget/html/front-end.php file in a text editor.
Comment out line 158:
$instance['title'] = \apply_filters( 'widget_title', \esc_attr( @$instance['title'] ) );
…by adding // in front of it like so:
//$instance['title'] = \apply_filters( 'widget_title', \esc_attr( @$instance['title'] ) );
But please be aware that this change will be lost the next time you update the widget.
Thanks for that. I can’t see that line in the file you specify. I’m on version 2.4 now by the way.
beachmat: Sorry, I gave the wrong filename. It should be hw-image-widget.php on line 158.
