Book next/previous button labels don't render HTML

[daveyboond]

Hi,

The text labels that accompany the buttons for "next chapter" and "previous chapter" in a Book resource display HTML tags as code, instead of rendering them. This is at odds with the rest of the Moodle interface, as shown in this screenshot.

It sounds like it's being escaped twice which normally happens when we transition renderer code to mustache templates. Thanks for reporting, I'll take a quick look.

We've had a look at this and we can see why it's probably happening. Thanks for reporting.

We've tried replicating this issue and have been unable to in 3.2 and 3.3. If we enter html into a book chapter title it is stripped out by Moodle. Can you provide steps to replicate please?

Hi, that's because we've turned off the setting in Site administration > Appearance > HTML settings that strips out HTML. So steps to replicate:

1. Go to Site administration > Appearance > HTML settings and uncheck "Remove HTML tags from all activity names"
2. Create a new Book. Create a first chapter called "<b>Bold</b>" and a 2nd chapter called "<i>Italics </i>"
3. Save the Book and enter it. The button at bottom right should be labelled "Next: Italics" but in fact is labelled "Next: <i>Italics </i>"
