I have added the following snippet to environment.rb:

Rails::Initializer.run do |config|  
config.action\_view.sanitized\_allowed\_tags = ‘table’, ‘tr’, ‘td’, ‘th’  
end

But it doesn’t work, my tags still get removed. Any idea why it is  
happening?

FIXED: I had to restart the server, even in development mode.

Changes to environment.rb and similar are never picked up without a  
restart.
