Hello, I wonder how to insert following HTML code to the post? I found whitelist HTML but don’t know how to do this. Thank you!!

To expand the whitelist you need to write a custom plugin. There is no way of doing this from a component if you want it baked into the post.

You are going to need a developer here to help you out.
