Export HTML field to CSV

[tycho]

Hello

I use catalog with CLI:

> calibredb catalog catalog.csv --with-library=genea '--search=#id:"=5708"' --fields=comments

In the resulting file, the 'comments' content is converted to text. I want the original content -in HTML) (and same for other HTML fields)

I searched the forum and I found in previous dicussion that it's the result of a patch from 2011:

Is there a way to get the HTML?

(if none, then I guess I will change my code to use 'list' and then use python script to convert to target format)
