    I’m trying to enter HTML code in the description field but it is getting corrupted. For example I’m trying to enter the following:

    Contact: 
                  Erica Lutes '02
    

    When I go to edit the description field, I only see the following:

    Contact: <a href=\
    

    But in the marker description, it displays the following:
    Contact: Erica Lutes \’02

    But the hyperlink on the name is messed because it combines the domain of the site the map is displayed on with the link address:

    There appears to be a problem escaping the single and double quotes but I cannot find in your code how the description field text is being processed. Hyperlinks in the Link URL field are not corrupted.

    I have the Pro version of your plugin. I’m using WordPress 3.4.1, php ver. 5.3.2 and MySQL ver5.5.24.

    Thanks.

    I tried to display my HTML in pre tags but it did not display correctly. I’ll try the code tag. Here is the code I’m trying to enter:

    Pre or code tags do not work these comments areas.

    Hi

    at the moment the plugin doesnt fully support HTML in the description area. A work-around for this would be to use single quotes in your HTML instead of Double quotes.

    Kind regards

    I have had similar problems, any time frame for when the plugin will support HTML fully in the description area?
