Sitecore page editor render as HTML

Question

I have a Sitecore item ("Content Item"), which has a rich text as "<h2>Header text</h2>".

I want this to be rendered as html.

But using a field renderer when I try

FieldRenderer1.Item = DatabaseManager.MasterDatabase.GetItem(//content item);
FieldRenderer1.FieldName = "Content";"

Text is rendered as "<h2>Header text</h2>" in the mark up. How do I get them render as HTML?

Hello, normally it must work as expected. Can you check if you have checked Raw Valuee field on View Tab on Context Menu from Content Editor ? — user459491
It's turned off, Raw value is "<p><h2>Be a Smart Seller</h2></p> <p> </p>" — Dhanuka777
Agree with sc climber on this. This is the normal way to use a field renderer. Ensure that you've added the HTML in the "HTML" view of the RichText editor and not the "Design" view. — Craig Taylor
Yup, HTML is in the "HTML" view. Tried a Multiline text box, it worked. Still wondering why "Richtextbox" does not get rendered as html. — Dhanuka777

After reading the comments, I think may be trying this might work.

<sc:FieldRenderer id="HeaderText" runat="server" FieldName="HeaderText" />

This fixed my issues when I was trying something similar at my end.

FieldName specification is a must when it comes to FieldRenderers.
