Description
I am glad to see plotly 4.5.2 on CRAN, which I've installed. I am re-writing several functions to use the new argument structure - so far so good on that. I have a potential major problem though. I routinely put HTML markup inside hover text, including <span> <br> etc. and so far the hover text is showing the markup and not the formatted output as it did before the new version. Any help greatly appreciated.
