Hi,

Im using a template node tu build an email body with some payload variables, like this:

```auto
<b>Date:</b> {{payload.0.fecha}}
<br>
<br>
Comentario1: {{payload.1.texto}}

```

It's coming good but when any of that values, in this case payload.1.texto, has any line break like `<br>` the output of the template node is changed to `&lt;br&gt;`, and the email only render the `<br>` that I have entered manually in the mustache template, but not the ones coming inside the `payload.1.texto`.

Any hint? thanks!

As described in the sidebar help of the Template node, you should use `{{{ triple brackets }}}` to avoid it escape HTML entities.

Thank you so much @knolleary , that was it. I tested that in a value that didn't has any   
 on it and I thought it wasnt doing anything, but it was just the wrong place to test it :), many thanks!
