Draftail converts merge tags to italic #39

Open mgax opened 1 week ago

When inserting merge tags, like *|FNAME|*, Draftail will treat the * characters as Markdown, and convert the text to <i>|FNAME|</i>.

A couple of possible workarounds:

Disable the i tag in the rich text editor.
Use a RawHTMLBlock instead of RichTextBlock (though that allows editors to inject malicious markup).

We’ve discussed adding a rich text feature for this. There’s a lot of merge tags so this could also be helpful for people who aren’t well versed in Mailchimp to help them decide which tag they want to insert.
