Please send the dunstrc. Is markup enabled?

[dev-ardi]

I don't have it

[bynect]

Try making a dunstrc with
markup set to full or strip and see if it changes

[dev-ardi]

With markup=full it only gets handled in the body, not in the title.
notify-send 'hello >there<' 'hello >there<'

[bynect]

I think this is a restriction mandated by the notification standard. The title is treated differently than the body if I remember correctly

https://specifications.freedesktop.org/notification-spec/latest/markup.html

Body text may contain markup. The markup is XML-based, and consists of a small subset of HTML along with a few additional tags.

Maybe implementing what you are asking is possible without violating the standard?
