      1. Edit source code of any page and modify the $PAGE->set_heading() call, for example in course/index.php replace it with:

      $PAGE->set_heading(format_string($heading) . ' <a href="/">EDIT</a>', false);
      

      2. Open this page in the browser
      3. Make sure you can see an "EDIT" link next to the heading
      4. Modify the code again to remove the second argument ("false")
      5. Open the page in the browser - you will see text EDIT without link

    Description

      Some related issues MDL-42339 (fixed), MDL-29240 (closed as inactive)

      When calling $PAGE->set_heading() it calls the format_string() unconditionally. If $CFG->formatstringstriptags is set to on (which is default), all tags are removed from the page heading.

      We need to be able to add a "pill" or "edit" icon to the heading and it is not possible because of this. We also can't change the default behavior (applying format_string()) because a lot of place expect it to be present. So how about adding a parameter $applyformatting = true

      With this change we can call:

      $heading = format_string(...);
      $pill = ' <span class="badge badge-secondary">New</span>';
      $PAGE->set_heading($heading . $pill, false);
