Please update in which view it does not work?

Please note that HTML renders only in the detail view.

It perfectly works for me as the screenshots below show

You are welcome. Some relevant data points for you from the announcement post, you may want to take a look at.

You may also want to take a look at which HTML tags are currently supported etc. because that is also crucial as one starts building some columns to render in HTML
