* Hi Ben,
* I’m looking to enable widgets to recognize simple HTML so that I can italicize
portions of a title etc.
* Thanks,
* Jamie

* Hey Jamie,
* This is a bit tricky because WordPress has security filters in place that strip
out the HTML, and turning those off could be problematic. Would it be okay to
italicize the entire widget title? That can be done pretty easily with this CSS:
* ```
.widget-title {
font-style: italic;
}
```
