Views Rewrite return html string instead of rendering them I am using Drupal 8.1.3 and in simple views I want to use rewrite feature of views, and I put &lt;span class=&quot;stats&quot;&gt;{{ totalcount }}&lt;i aria-hidden=&quot;true&quot; class=&quot;fa fa-eye&quot;&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt; in rewrite section and on out put I see

Where is the problem and why view template engine not render HTML in rewrite section?
UPDATE
Exactly it that views I try rewrite title field and for it works correctly is seems problem is with statistics total view field !!!
I think it could be because of the &lt;i&gt;....&lt;/i&gt; tags part, if you take that out, does it render? Seems like views uses Filter HTML, and only popular html tags are allowed on Custom Fields or Re-Write boxes.

You should be able to achieve your goal by creating a template file.

views-view-fields--[view-name]--[machine-name].html.twig

&lt;span class="stats"&gt;{{ fields.totalcount.content }}&lt;i aria-hidden="true" class="fa fa-eye"&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
