- The tags will be displayed as editable text fields with the tag name.
- The content within the tags will be handled by the editor as regular text.
When the container is not editable:
- If the tag is recognized but not supported, such as script tags, the tag and its contents will be hidden.
- If the tag is unknown, the tag will be hidden but its contents will display as regular text.
