    The RSS 2.0 specification says that you can include HTML in the description element so long as you properly encode the markup.

    You have two ways to do this:

    1. Convert tags to escaped HTML entities:

      <description>this is &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;</description>
      
    2. Wrap the description content within a CDATA section:

      <description><![CDATA[this is <b>bold</b>]]></description>
