Description
Description:
For some settings in the "Administration" area, the description contains some visible HTML code.
Steps to reproduce:
- Log in with an admin.
- Navigate to Administration -> Settings -> Messages
Expected behavior:
None of the descriptions of settings on this page show any visible HTML markup.
Actual behavior:
Some HTML markup is visible, for instance:
Always Search Using RegExp

Time Format, Date Format and Time and Date Format

Enable Auto-Translate

Katex

There may be other settings pages also showing HTML markup. I did not find any, but I did not search through all settings pages.
