HTML field

The ButterCMS HTML field accepts raw HTML snippets, outputs a string via the API, and bypasses editor formatting controls — ideal for custom embeds.

The HTML field is a raw HTML input field that provides a multi-line text input for short snippets of HTML.

Use HTML fields sparingly, as they bypass editor controls and can introduce inconsistent formatting or security concerns.
