Removed single-model database import	Single-model database import is removed.

Therefore, if the HTML contains any tags that are not purely formatting tags (font color, size, images, and so on), then they will be removed automatically before displaying the HTML. In addition, all HTML attributes allowing to enter Javascript (onclick, onload, and so on) are also be removed.
