Inserting Span Tags into rich text section

Store Design

  • Entering span tags displays them as plain text rather than functional HTML

Solution approach:

  • Change the section from rich text to textarea field type, which allows HTML code
  • This requires modifying the section code directly

Hi guys,

I want to add span tags around the price in this rich text section on my homepage so that it works with an app to convert based on location. However, I don’t know how to add span tags as there isn’t a html option in the rich text editor. These are the tags I need to add in:

£42

Can anyone show me how I can get these tags in without them just showing up as text? Thanks!
