# HOW TO ENSURE THAT A FIELD IS NOT ESCAPED WHEN ADDED TO LIST VIEWS
* ### Example Extra styling In Fields
Occationally there is a need to add extra styling to a List View
Hi. Sometimes one would like to add extra styling like this [00:00:06](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfl0l3AoLKU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h00m06s) The problem though is that by default all of these field values are being escaped.

How is this kind of styling added to a field?

### Looping Through Data Till Target Found - Adding Styling
Look through the data and identify data that is part of the target. Add this value to it, that then in turn turns this red(See video). [00:02:19](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfl0l3AoLKU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h02m19s) Check the dates and depending on its values, add HTML value to the date, and use a custom method in a Helper Class called 'fancyDate', where the the default sequel date is converted to a more appropriate date, 2nd of April etc. [00:02:39](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfl0l3AoLKU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h02m39s) The problem is though, if this is done and the component is compiled and items added , then it escapes those values and prints it around the value(see video).

The value here is to create 'date', as well as the 'job status'. [00:03:31](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfl0l3AoLKU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h03m31s)
### Preventing The Escape Info
### Field Adding Escape=False To Code to Prevent Escape

### Field Adding Escape=False To Code
In the back end of the component, 'Job order', the area 'Fields' can be opened. Scroll down to 'Job status'. [00:04:09](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfl0l3AoLKU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h04m09s) Scroll further down and at the bottom it can be seen that this line 'escape= "false"' had been added. [00:04:37](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfl0l3AoLKU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h04m37s) In the structure of the component where that field is loaded, Component Builder as it compiles, will command the escape method not to escape it, and consequently the HTML will be displayed instead of it being printed out. [00:05:15](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfl0l3AoLKU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h05m15s) This has been a quick demonstration of how to make use of the not escape method.
