I use custom function so ??
//allow html in widget title
function lxb_change_widget_title($title)
{
//convert square brackets to angle brackets
$title = str_replace('[', '<', $title);
$title = str_replace(']', '>', $title);
//strip tags other than the allowed set
$title = strip_tags($title, '<a><blink><br><span>');
return $title;
}
add_filter('widget_title', 'lxb_change_widget_title');
