This may be something basic, but here is my code:

#set ($manzitems= $_XPathTool.selectNodes($contentRoot, '//customaccd/customaccd-items'))
#foreach ($manzi in $manzitems)
#if ($manzi)
#set ($accdheader = $_EscapeTool.xml($manzi.getChild('customaccd-header').text))
    <p class="expander-header">$accdheader</p>
#set ($accdcontent = $_EscapeTool.xml($manzi.getChild('customaccd-content').text))
    <div class="expander-content">
        $accdcontent
    </div>
#else
<p>&nbsp;</p>
#end
#end

I'm not able to output any text for the content section if it is anything other than plaintext. I thought by using the escape tool we avoid that issue?

   Hi,

   Is the customaccd-content field a WSYIWYG field by chance? If so, try using the Serializer Tool to serialize the HTML content within the field:

   #set ($accdcontent = $_SerializerTool.serialize($manzi.getChild('customaccd-content'), true))
   

   Give this a try and let me know how this works out.

   Please let me know if you have any questions.

   Thanks!
