I [added a class in the HTML allowlist](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-are-the-different-ways-to-customize-content-inside-a-post-custom-attributes-and-such/226747/6) so I circumvented the issue.

However, being able to have a button **excluded attributes** could allow more flexibility to prevent linkify words, using the build-in `data-(anything)` HTML attribute since it’s allowed by default in Discourse.

Example:  
`<span data-nolinkify> text </span>` → text

Would a push request be accepted if I manage to add this to the theme component?
