How to get HTML to display in field?

Hello,
I have implemented this code: https://community.quickbase.com/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?MessageKey=3cc6f9fe-99bf-4815-a65b-ae633d30e976&CommunityKey=d860b0f8-6a48-487b-b346-44c47a19a804&tab=digestviewer in to one of my reports.

One of the fields that was concatenated using the above script was a rich text field, so users need to be able to bold and italicize things. With the concatenated field, it's showing the HTML tags instead of marking up the text. Does anybody have any ideas how to modify the code above to get that HTML to display properly?

    Just figured it out. In case anyone is running in to the same issue, you use three curly braces instead of two on the field where you need to render the html.

    So {{{field}}} should do the trick.
