Hello @Jonas,

Thanks for the report.
If Iā€™m not mistaken, the default WordPress description field does not support HTML tags and this is an added behaviour.

We do escape them when rendering the archive description, so this might be something we can remove.

Cheers,

Thanks @Louis! Would be awesome if the HTML-Editor would be usable.

It appears to be related this bug, please confirm whether that was the fix or if it is something different.

Thanks.

Yes, archive description should now support HTML tags.
