Convert EPUB to HTML Zip extra meta text

When converting an EPUB to Zip format in calibre 0.8.53 for displaying online, the top level html file has some extra text added to the meta data for description that results in " /> being displayed on the first HTML page.

So with "My Description" in the Description metadata field in the EPUB, the html file contains this:

<meta name="DC.description" content="<p class="description">My Description</p>" />

should just be this:

<meta name="DC.description" content="My Description" />


Deleting the line is a workaround, but it would be nice if it could be fixed.


Is there reason the Zip format is not called the HTML Zip format? When looking for a way to convert an EPUB to HTML I almost didn't see that Zip was really HTML Zip. I assume to try to minimize confusion with the HTMLZ format, but it does make it harder to find since once you find HTMLZ you assume that's the only HTML converter.
