	/**
	* This can be overridden on child elements to create a summary for display in GridFields.
	* The react Summary component takes `content` (html) and/or `fileUrl` & `fileTitle` (image) props,
	* which have to be added to the output in `provideBlockSchema()`.
	*
	* @return string
	*/
	public function getSummary()
	{
	return '';
	}

there is a mention that content can be HTML but it does not work. Is there a way to acheive this?

Hi @nicolas-cusan. Can you share more details on how does it not work? What happens?

Hi @michalkleiner thank you for your reply.

This is my code:

// ...
    public function getSummary(): string
    {
        return '<strong>Test HTML in getSummary</strong>';
    }

    protected function provideBlockSchema(): array
    {
        $blockSchema = parent::provideBlockSchema();
        $blockSchema['content'] = '<strong>Test HTML in provideBlockSchema</strong>';
        return $blockSchema;
    }
// ...

This is the result:

I would have expected the description to be in bold.

I understand that for this to work, summary would need to be rendered using dangerouslySetInnerHTML. in the React component. Maybe you see a way to make this available to developers by enabling it via a config flag, so it's a conscious decision to do so.
