Description

As far as I can tell, all activity and resource names have had their tags stripped for the last few versions. This has caused numerous user complaints. For example, teachers on a botany course want to put the latin name of a plant in italics as this is the correct format. It would only need to be a very limited range of tags, probably just bold and italic.

As the setting appears to only affect activity and resource names, and not forum post titles, or blog entry titles, I suggest the following small rewording:

$string['stripalltitletags'] = 'Remove HTML tags from all activity names';
$string['configstripalltitletags'] = 'Uncheck this setting to allow HTML tags in activity and resource names.';
