I am sending a string from helper file to email template

```
 $templateVars = [
                'store_credit_amount' => $storeCredit 
            ]; // $15

```

In email template html file i use it like

```
<p style=" text-decoration: none; font-size: 13px; font-family: arial;">

 You’ve got < span style ="color: #F3198F;"> {{var store_credit_amount}} </ span> in store credit.</p>

```

But in email template which i get on email id, it shows span tag separately

When i add static number in email template it appears fine.
Not sure how to solve this, any thoughts ?
