to G3 team:

while ago it was impossible to use HTML tags in items descriptions.
unless I am missing something I see the following

If I am editing album description, I can use HTML - it would be kept as part of the description when displayed
However, if I am to do the same for Photo description, it html tags would be escaped... so we would need to use purifier module to display it correctly...

is it just my machine, is it inconsistency, or there is something else here?

Then there are titles...

Installing the HTML Purifier module on my install makes all HTML render. Deactivating it makes all HTML be escaped and display the raw HTML visible on the page. Doesn't matter if it's an album or photo description. Did you test the Wind theme to make sure that doesn't behave differently on your system?

Ok
Might be just my system then
I have tried to disable custom logic I have, and I do not have purifier... Still was getting HTML when reading description for albums...
Maybe some kind of caching on my end...
Thank you for clarification

I had the same problem and just ended up changing code to avoid having to work on a larger fix. I posted about it somewhere before, but no one else was having the issue. All that to say, if you're going to work on it, and you figure out where the problem is, let me know. (Part of the reason I gave up: The purifier module actually made the problem worse in some cases--regarding HTML use--so I figured that definitely had something to do with my code, but didn't have time to sort it out.)

I have been successfully using html in album descriptions with GD (not really fussed about photo descriptions). I wouldn't like to lose this capability. I am not using purifier, although I could if needed.

Gallery 3.0.2 ; GD 3.1.2
