Symbolic Dice – Images do not appear in Chat

Noob here and my first attempt at a Symbolic Dice Button.
I have a D6 with the usual 6 faces: D6-1-blue.png, D6-2-blue.png, etc.
I have everything set up per the manual as best as I could.
I want the Chat to show the Die Face rolled. I have 2 Buttons. D6 and 2D6.

For the D6 button, I have a report format: ** $name$ = <img src="D6-$result1$-blue.png" width="14" height="14"> *** Rolled by $PlayerName$
When I click the D6, the results in Chat are: *** D6 = <img src="D6-4-blue.png" width="14" height="14"> *** Rolled by Stan L

For the 2D6 button, I have a format of : ** $name$ = <img src="D6-$result1$-blue.png" width="14" height="14">,<img src="D6-$result2$-blue.png" width="14" height="14">= <$numericalTotal$> *** Rolled by $PlayerName$
When I click the 2D6, the results in Chat is: *** 2D6 = <img src="D6-3-blue.png" width="14" height="14">,<img src="D6-5-blue.png" width="14" height="14">numericalTotalPlayerName

If I use a Report Window, the image works perfectly and you see the face corresponding to the roll.
No matter how I do the syntax, I cannot get the images to appear in Chat and for the 2D6 I cannot get the total nor the player’s name that rolled the dice.
I have the images in the model, I verified that. I have Symbolic Dice set up correctly. So it must be the expression I am using and somehow have the syntax wrong in some way.

Any help or pointers here would be greatly appreciated.

Edit the module, look in the “Global Options” component - usually found near the top - make sure that you enabled HTML for chat, thus:

Remove the enclosing angle brackets around <$numericalTotal$> ; only use those to enclose HTML tags. If you have to use then, replace them with &lt; & &gt; respectively.

PS What do you mean by a Report Window ?

Thank you very much, that worked.
The Report Window was a term I used for the option ‘Show results in window’, when the box is checked. I did not know what else to call it - lol
