 == Patch Testing Report

 Patch Tested: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/11088

 === Environment
 - WordPress: 7.0-beta2-61752-src
 - PHP: 8.2.29
 - Server: nginx/1.29.4
 - Database: mysqli (Server: 8.4.7 / Client: mysqlnd 8.2.29)
 - Browser: Chrome 145.0.0.0
 - OS: macOS
 - Theme: Twenty Twenty-Five 1.4
 - MU Plugins: None activated
 - Plugins:
   * Test Reports 1.2.1

 === Steps taken
 1. On the pages list, use `Quick Edit` to change Privacy Policy page's
 title to `<strong><em>Privacy Policy</em></strong>` and Publish.
 2. View the Login page. Escaped HTML tags are visible.
 3. Apply the patch
 4. View the Login page again. HTML tags are applied to the link.
 x. ✅ Patch is solving the problem

 === Expected result
 - If the HTML formatting is intentional and expected then it should render
 as a part of page title. `wp_kses_post()` provides this flexibility.
