RichtextEditor inserting HTML

Is there a possibility to insert HTML Text and save it unescaped to the db in the RichtextEditor?

// if you are in the Creating step you can use
protected function mutateFormDataBeforeCreate(array $data): array
{
    // $data['your_rich_editor_field_name'] = whattever you want to do to the field data
    // for example
     $data['your_rich_editor_field_name'] = strip_tags($data['your_rich_editor_field_name']);
    // strip_tags is a php function, or you can use anything else
     
    return $data;
}
// if you are in the Update step

protected function mutateFormDataBeforeSave(array $data): array
{
    // same as above
 
    return $data;
}

Sorry. I was too imprecise with my explanation. I want to be able to insert HTML content and keep the HTML tags explicitly so that I can embed the content later in the same way.

I think it saves it as html in the data column when using a rich editor so no extra work required login to the database and check it to confirm

here is an example where am using the rich editor as you see it does save the tags

True that. My point was when I insert HTML I have written elsewhere the RichtextEditor saves it escaped to the database. It wraps it in his own tags tough, as you mentioned.

It’s going through a sanitizer to help protect from xss vulnerabilities. The underlying trix editor could be doing its own sanitizing as well. A lot of rich text editors work that way. If you actually need Freeform html then you’re probably going to have to do a custom field where you have more control over what’s allowed and what isn’t.

Okay, thank you Adam. That's a solution I can work with.
