HTML anchor tag rendered as plain text in email confirmation message

Problem

  • The UI displays raw HTML tags instead of rendering them correctly
  • On the Eclipse Foundation account page after email confirmation, the message includes visible HTML: <a href="/user/login">log in</a>
  • This results in broken UX where users see HTML code instead of a clickable link
  • Indicates improper HTML escaping or rendering in the notification/message component

Expected Behavior

  • HTML content should be properly rendered
  • The “log in” text should appear as a clickable link directing to /user/login
  • No raw HTML tags should be visible in the UI

The following screenshot is what the user shared to us on LinkedIn to let us know about the issue.
