HTML in System UI messages

[gerald_c]

I'm using a system UI message in an installation exit. This will be used to display the message which contains an email address when the account of a user is locked. I'm trying to output the email address using <a href="mailto> tags but as the message field on the sys_ui_message table is of type String, it's not rendering the HTML. Is there any way to go around this without changing the type of the field?

One issue that gs.getMessage has is that it cannot handle { and } as a literal because the message is not really parsed.

This is an issue if your HTML contains CSS where you need those symbols.

You basically need to inject { and } as values, as silly as it sounds.
