    Yulia-Anaplan Oh I see, thanks for the clarification.

    In that case, I would recommend wrapping the text in the noautoesc directive as shown below and see if that does the trick.

    <#noautoesc><@component id="component-id" param="1" /></#noautoesc>

    Hope this helps!

Looking at the Using macros in custom content article, it doesn't look like you're able to use the component directive within custom content and can only import/include macro files and leverage those functions.

So that would explain why the greater-than and less-than characters are being converted to HTML entities, since the custom content cannot interpret the directive as FreeMarker.

    Hi jeffshurtliff ,
    Thank you for your reply, I appreciate a lot.
    We don't use macro files in this component or the custom content.
    This component is just displaying some frontend stuff.
    So, HTML/CSS is in the component, and within the custom component we just call this component like that: <@component id="component-id" param="1" />
    It breaks only for one admin. As soon as they just open the custom content, it automatically format "<" and "/>" into "&lt;" and "/&gt;"
    Every time they need to manually delete "&lt;" and "/&gt;" and save before passing a new param value.
