config_option shortcode is escaping HTML

Visit https://opentelemetry.io/docs/instrumentation/java/automatic/agent-config/#peer-service-name and you'll see:

It seems that Hugo's trim function is escaping HTML.

Hey can I work on it.

@svrnm - FYI, I'm going to remove the "good first issue" because I think this one is hitting a Hugo bug, and so it will likely require good knowledge of Hugo to investigate and resolve.

Thanks @chalin, my assumption was this is a quick fix by editing the file.

@shyamtawli apologies see chalin's comment above, this is not a good starter issue

[chalin]

No worries! It does look like a quick-fix candidate.

No Issue @svrnm
I will see other beginner issues.

Thanks! For the record, it seems likely that Go templates are escaping based on context, similar to what happened in #2509, which was resolved via:

• Registry search results: fix Fuse template #2511

It's not clear to me why this is happening for a shortcode rendered as markdown.
