as an example, i created an addon with the name and description wawa - [wawa] - <wawa> - &&&
i expect the brackets and html character codes to render consistently everywhere that the description appears, but it doesnt. observe:
description snippet in addon list:

full description shown when selecting the addon or viewing its map:

the title is consistent, always sanitized the same. the description is not.
in both areas, the square brackets are treated as tags. the full description is also treating the angle brackets as tags. the addon list is failing to parse the html character codes.
this makes using these special characters very difficult.
