  HTML tags
  Special characters
  Non-standard fonts or styles

  Use SAP Standard Formatting: If you need to format the text, use the formatting options provided by SAP rather than external formatting.
  
  
  Review SAP Documentation: Check the SAP documentation for the specific module you are working with to understand the supported text formats and any limitations.
