Add configuration value that used WORDS_AND_SYMBOLS_REGEX

I am looking at adding a configuration value that has HTML as part of the value. I want to use WORDS_AND_SYMBOLS_REGEX sanitization.
My options seem to be:
1) duplicate configuration.php and adjust for the required sanitisation. (OR write my own)
2) Modify the init_sanitize.php to add the configuration key to the list that uses WORDS_AND_SYMBOLS_REGEX.

option 1 seems to be over kill,
Option 2 modifies a base file and i would rather not do that.

What am is missing? Is there an other way to do this?

I was wanting to add a shipping message and was going to add it to the configuration>shipping menu.

Have you looked at this? Go to your admin's Tools :: Define Pages Editor and choose to edit define_checkout_success.php.

Know about that, thanks. I wanted to add the message to many pages and be consistent. I could add an include file but for me was easier to add a new value to database, so was wondeting if there was a way to set a new configuration value that is sanitized with WORDS_AND_SYMBOLS_REGEX. Have set it up but have to edit in the database as it is sanitised and < becomes &lt; etc.

I had a similar issue with my One-Page Checkout (https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.p...file&id=2095); see this (https://github.com/lat9/one_page_che...t_one.php#L143) code fragment that changes the < and > symbols back to their 'native' format (instead of &lt; and &gt;).

As homer simpson would say DOH! I didn't think of that such and easy solution.
Thanks!

Could also include a non null/non empty val_function that would return true from the admin function zen_validate_configuration_entry for the configuration_key and later/separately direct sanitization of the associated configuration_key. By it being non null/non empty, no action is taken against the configuration value allowing the desired sanitization to subsequently be executed... Hoops to jump through to get there (e.g. more complex), but an alternate method to directly apply the admin sanitization as currently designed.
