Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

In my audiobook collection each item has description metadata, but all the descriptions are HTML. While those descriptions do display in plaintext, seeing HTML tags in your descriptions is not nice to look at and can be difficult for users to read. I would like it if I could enable HTML rendering for descriptions on a per-library basis.

Why would this be helpful?

The readability of descriptions would be improved by rich text support.
