Actually not. If you have HTML statements in entries, they will be rendered using escape characters (like </table> -> &lt;/table&gt;). This is necessary to avoid cross-side-script vulnerabilities (XSS). If this is not working in some case, let me know and I have to fix it. The only exception is if you explicitly allow this via Allow HTML = 1


If the content has been added with the "elog" command as HTML then it can contain mismatching HTML tags, can't it?
I don't see how this could be avoided by ELOG, unless you want to do a full HTML syntax check of all new and modified entries.
