# Posts Block Excerpt Allow HTML

 * I’d like to allow certain html tags (italics, bold, links) in manual excerpts.
   This works fine on archive pages, but with your Posts block, the html gets escaped
   and is rendered like this on the published page:
   I don’t <em>consciously</em>
   The actual HTML ends up looking like this:`I don’t &lt;em&gt;consciously&lt;/
   em&gt;`
 * Is there any way to allow the HTML for that block?
