+      <p>No, since the HTML input needs to be transformed to MEI in the backend, only a limited set 
+        of HTML tags are supported. These include the tags that are accesible via the buttons of the 
+        editor like <code>&lt;em&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;span&gt;</code>, or <code>&lt;strong&gt;</code>.
