Are there any terms that accept HTML?

[mjy]

I had a question from someone putting together a data-set as to whether there is any provision for accepting HTML markup in a particular field?

I guessed that there is not, but it's an interesting question that might come up again. Certainly we wouldn't want to mix HTML and data, but there might be descriptive elements where it could be useful.

There is no proscription of HTML as content, except where one is supposed to follow controlled vocabularies, which do not contain HTML. Indeed, Arctos uses HTML in various fields where they deem it to be useful, such as typeStatus and previousIdentifications, which you can see in action at
