I wonder if anyone can help with a small problem I am encountering? However, I'm not sure whether this is a Calibre related question or a Sigil one.

Here goes:

I insert a Plot Summary in the comments box in Calibre (Edit Metadata) e.g.

Plot Summary:

The story grew out of a map that led to imaginary treasure, devised during a holiday in Scotland by Stevenson and his nephew. The tale is told by an adventurous boy, Jim Hawkins, who gets hold of treasure map and sets off with an adult crew in search of the buried treasure. Among the crew, however, is the treacherous Long John Silver who is determined to keep the treasure for himself.

However I find that when I convert with Calibre the resulting conversion in Sigil (Metadata editor) description box is shown as:

<div><b>Plot Summary:</b><div><br>...

And nothing else

Am I missing something simple here? - is there a tweak in either Calibre or Sigil that would rectify this and show the text rather than the code?

Any help greatly appreciated.
