 Some third-party systems, e.g. GitHub, use HTML-formatted data in their payload sent to a Jenkins webhooks, e.g. URL of a pull-request being built. To display such data as processed HTML instead of raw text set `master.enableRawHtmlMarkupFormatter` to true. This option requires installation of OWASP Markup Formatter Plugin (antisamy-markup-formatter). The plugin is **not** installed by default, please update `master.installPlugins`.
