Hi Toxaris,

Yes, not much work was done on metadata editing via the gui because the whole gui will have to be reworked for epub3 metadata.

Right now the only way to work around this is to escape any html tags then everything should work. In other words, use the proper xml escape replacements when entering metadata into the gui.

By example, if you enter the following, it should work correctly:

Code:

This is &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt; a test

If it doesn't please let me know.

I will try to fix this for the next point release.

FWIW: Until we get a fix for this - a quick and dirty way to escape everything is to paste it into an empty BV and then go and copy out of its associated CV and paste that into the metadata gui.
