Include HTML tags in custom fields

Question

I have a "currently reading" custom field in my WordPress blog post, and I want to output it wrapped in an HTML tag.

What I tried was this hack:

echo "<h1>" . $mycustomfieldcontent . "</h1>";

What the client prefers to do is to be able to set the HTML in the actual custom field.

What would be the proper way to do that?

<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Your Meta Key', true); ?>

And the output should be:
